It's produced by Chris Stamey (dBs) and from all advance reports from the studio, it is superb. Her band features other Whiskeyites and she covers a Whiskeytown tune or two on the new CD.

No mention yet of Lori Carson... her "Where It Goes" is my number one -- especially for rainy, lonely days... dark, yet still so hopeful... Her other discs, "Shelter," "Everything I Touch Runs Wild," "Stars," and the new, self-released "House In The Weeds" are also beautiful... and her more produced work as the singer for Golden Palominos ("This Is How It Feels" and "Pure") are a folk-electronica meld that was years ahead of its time. Any other fans out there?

I like Ryan Adams, but dammit, seeing him EVERYWHERE is starting to get old quick. If I were to suggest to someone to listen to him, I think I would suggest some of the early Whiskeytown stuff. I was kind of disappointed in Gold. Anywhoo, my other suggestions would be, in no particular order: Testosterone: Wilco/Son Volt/Uncle Tupelo (the triumviate of Alt Country, and Wilco's newest -and as yet unreleased-is pure pop bliss) Alejandro Escovedo (the less hyped, but more deserving, singer songwriter) Jeff Buckley (he can make the most cyncial feel something) Songs: Ohia (Ithought he was a woman for a year) Built To Spill (greates Rawk and Roll this side of Neil Young and Crazy Horse) Bob Mould/Husker Du/Sugar - no explanation needed Paul Westerberg/Replacements - see above Tim Easton (has worked with members of Wilco, and is a great singer/songwriter) Old 97s (following Wilco's lead) Velvet Underground Ben Harper ( I love this man, not that there is anything wrong with thtat) Bottle Rockets (Rawkin Missouri and everywhere else) Martin Sexton (very soulful voice, with the wit of John Hiatt) Nick Drake (very light on the testosterone, and one of the greatest) Pete Yorn (the latest rocker seen with Winona on his arm, begin career tail-spin now) Jawhawks (harmonies not heard since the Everly Bros) Apples in Stereo (all the bands on Elephant 6 are worth checking out) Dan Bern (discovered by Ani Difranco) Steven Malkmus/Pavement Alex Chilton/Big Star (the next Gram Parsons? - nah, he's still kickin) Blue Mountain (too bad they broke up, but Carey is great solo too) Mark Lanegan (the guy from Screaming Trees) Scud Mountain Boys/Pernice Brothers (Massachuttes is my favorite album of all time.....today) Cat Stevens Elliott Smith (whispered brilliance) John Hiatt (fun, and can also hit you on a very personal level) Richard Buckner (the angriest man alive, and looks like a bear) Frank Black/Pixies/FB and the Catholics (depending on what day you listen) Michael Penn (the more musical of the Penn brothers) Testosterone/Estrogen Mix: Original Harmony Ridge Creek Dippers (Marc Olsen of the Jayhawks, and wife, Victoria Williams) Continental Drifters Sonic Youth Estrogen: Indigo Girls (duh!) Gillian Welch (a rare timeless voice) Lone Justice (before and after their time) Aimee Mann (Bachelor #2 will be a classic one day) Neko Case (from punk to country, the coolest woman around) Cowboy Junkies (I don't know which I like better, their originals or their covers) Juile Miller (the new one with Buddy is fantastic) Cat Power (Southern Gothic with strings) Alison Krauss - what can I say? Nikka Costa - Janis meets Macy? Liz Phair (again, the earlier the better) Poe Lucinda Williams (I love her) Mary Lou Lord - every guy's ideal co-ed dream girl Victoria Williams (the best squeaky voice EVER) Dusty Springfield (soul.....soul) Tori Amos (the earlier the better) PJ Harvey ( Every album is a masterpiece) Freakwater (fun, footstompin bluegrass) Beth Orton (better than Sarah) Ani Difranco (see Frank Black, a varitable chameleon with serious skills on the guitar) Deal Sisters/Breeders/Throwing Muses/Tanya Donnely/Belly (they're all great) Damnations, TX (the second coming of Lone Justice?) Meat Purveyours (see Freakwater) Trailer Bride (see Meat Purveyours) The All-Time Greats: Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons, Willie Nelson, Emmy Lou Harris, Aretha Franklin, Janis Joplin I'm sure there are a thousand more, but these are the one's on my mind right now. I have typically enjoyed most of the artists I have found through MM over the last year or two, with the exception of one, and I know I will catch hell for this, but no matter how many times I listen to it, I cannot get into Dar Williams. Flame on, and back to lurking. Sean Jess wrote: Ryan Adam's "Gold" is a GREAT album. I listen to "Harder now that it's over" over and over.
