Funny, find the Dixie Chicks'new album very entertaining, but not their best work. It is not the three of them who focused too much on the whole "we're ashamed of the President" thing - it's the right-wing country music radio that has. So much for freedom of speech.

I also really like the way Erik and Laurie's voices work together. I've also been amusing myself by trying to find a version of Plane Wreck at Los Gatos (Deportees) that I like as well as Richard's old cover. So far, I'm best liking (former Byrd) Gene Clark and Carla Olson, and Springsteen's versions next-best. - -jim ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2006 13:22:44 +0000 From: keny7744@comcast.net (Ken Yavit) Subject: Re: [RS] New Music Just got Darryl Purpose's new CD and DVD, "Live at Coalesce" and I found the DVD very well done. Really get a sense of DP's depth. Didn't care too much for the couple of lead vocals by Julie Beaver, but I enjoy her violin almost as much as Tracy Grammer's. On this CD is DP's cover of Dave Carter's "Red," and several of my favorite DP songs, include "Mr. Schwinn" and "Ring on my hand." As for Bob Dylan's XM radio show, I can take it or leave it. I've listened to parts of several shows, and I get a little tired of Bob reading a few lyrics before the song, then reading a few lyrics after the song. The song selections have been spotty, IMHO. Some are very good, but some I just didn't care for. I found a couple of tracks I liked on the new Dixie Chicks CD, but overall, I agree with RG that it wasn't their best effort. As for Mission Street Project's CD, I think Erik Balkey and Laurie MacAllister have a real chemistry. I saw them perform a couple times in recent months, and I loved Laurie's harmonies singing with Erik, and she had the vocal lead on a few songs that she really nails. Too bad she's gone back to focusing on her main gig, Red Molly. Not that RM is bad, but I really loved the pairing of her and Erik Balkey on MSP. Red Molly has a new CD coming out soon, and another Red Molly partner, Abbie Gardner, just released her own solo record. Has a great dobro & slide guitar piece with Pat Wictor.

Agree with RG on Kris' and Chicks' cd. Not their best efforts. Don't know how brand new this stuff is but it's fairly current. In my changer is: EmmyLou and Knofler - All the Road Running - I'm a bit disappointed in this one but it's ok if you like Knofler. I'm more of an Emmy Lou fan. The Duhks - Duhks - ecletic mix - folk bluegrass celtic and other. I like the front woman's sound. Kasey Chambers - Wayward Angel - She's getting better! Bruce Cockburn - You've Never Seen Everything - Interesting Jeff Black - Tin Lily. Reminds me a bit of Springsteen. Rough voice Cat Stevens like, some songs sound a bit David Wilcox-y. Mark Erelli -Hope and Other Casualties - fun carrie in kc ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2006 11:32:06 -0400 From: Adam Plunkett Subject: Re: [RS] New music. I have been listening to: Bruce Springsteen, We Shall Overcome Old Crow Medicine Show, Down Home Girl EP Gillian Welch, Black Star EP Jeffrey Foucault, Ghost Repeater Crooked Still, Hop High Iris DeMent, My Life Subdudes, Live at Last The Cottars, Forerunner Also, I heard a few tracks from Anais Mitchell's latest on the radio (she opens for Richard a lot) and liked it..love her voice. Looking forward to: Richard's cover album (of course) New Kelly Joe Phelps album in August (who I will be seeing live later this month) New Greg Brown album in the fall Also looking forward to the festival season!

(I know they're not new, but they are recent) WFUV has been playing tracks from "The Raconteurs" which sound interesting, so I may pick up the CD. RS is the only folk singer I listen to (so far).

That's my favorite. Of course, I love Priscilla's voice, and just about anything she does.

The latest from Bill Deasy (formerly of Gathering Field) "Chasing Down A Spark" is brilliant. It came out late last summer and I find myself reaching for it more than any other these days. ~Sue ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2006 13:03:01 -0400 From: "Gene Frey" Subject: [RS] New music Hey you guys, Whenever I get a new CD I give it a couple of listens, then it either goes onto my iPod or not. Here are the last batch to make it, over the last three months or so, in no other order than how I thought of them: The Fray - How To Save a Life Bruce Springsteen - We Shall Overcome Pearl Jam - Pearl Jam Jeffrey Foucault - Ghost Repeater Abbie Gardner - Honey on My Grave Panic! At The Disco - A Fever You Can't Sweat Out The Wreckers - Stand Still, Look Pretty People In Planes - As Far As The Eye Can See Great Big Sea - The Hard and The Easy Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs - Under the Covers Vol. 1 Peter Mulvey - The Knuckleball Suite KT Tunstall - Eye To The Telescope Kris Delmhorst - Strange Communication My next purchase will be Guster's new one, Ganging Up On The Sun, due 6/20. Unless Richard releases the new one before then. If anybody needs me I'll be by the window checking for flying pigs.

It was on one of those double album live albums with Pete Seeger (possibly from the 70s). It's just him and the acoustic guitar...which is probably why I like it best. Better than the other versions I have from Joel Raphael and Joan Baez. >>I've also been amusing myself by trying to find a version of Plane >>Wreck at Los Gatos (Deportees) that I like as well as Richard's old >>cover.
