I find the CD morbid and depressing, though I still like Sheik's voice and the music on the record is first rate. Just very, very, very, down. Sort of a latter day Leonard Cohen with updated angst for the new milennium. I know Vanessa will disagree vehemently with me on this, but hey, different strokes and all that mumbo jumbo.

Okay, are we considering favorite song of the year have to be a song that was released in 2001, or can it be a song that you heard for the first time in 2001?

I say it must be a 2001 release or at least a new version released in 2001. Generally, we often also make note of something we have only discovered during the year. Of course we also have no rules around here really. I guess my discoveries of 2001 were Cheryl Wheeler and Kate Wolf (thanks to someone who lives near State College, PA :-) ). Favorite songs from those artists, CW - Arrow and KW - Give Yourself to Love. One song I loved hearing this year is the new version of Big Rock Candy Mountain on the O' Brother soundtrack. Always loved that song as a little girl. I used to play it on one of those kiddy pianos!

Of course we also have no rules around here really. Well, I guess by that definition I can say a song that has been haunting me for two years, now, which is Beth Amsel's "Come Down". Keeping it to this year would be tough, though, since my exposure to new music has been pretty sparse, but I'd have to put up most of Dave & Tracy's album, and RS's "Before You Go", and possibly "Wig in a Box" from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. But I'm bad at choosing the bests. I think I have trouble choosing one sheep from the flock, as it were. jeff. - -- Love, here's a place and here's a name Love, she will hold you in her arms and show you who you are --Richard Shindell - -- writing by osmosis http://www.onefreeradical.com/osmosis/ ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 09 Jan 2002 20:46:22 -0500 From: Donna Myers Subject: [RS] Re: SOTY My favorite song is Richard's "I Am".....simply beautiful!! I would also have to agree with John Gorka's "Oh Abraham". I especially like the lines...Head for Wood Ave Between Inman and New Dover Back in my home town My cousins lived right off of Inman Ave in Gorka's home town of Colonia, NJ. We used to visit there often. Elwestrand wrote: Lucy K- Written on the Back of his Hand - hard to beat the line "one true words gonna beat a pack of lies".

As an RS fan, who is admittedly not a huge folk/country music lover, I must say that Tillman County by D & T is a great song with good legs and can stand with any of the best I've heard this past year.

I'd never heard it before. It was cool. Strange, but cool. Like Loudon himself. During the song they showed some pictures of him and his parents at various stages. It was funny to see a young picture of him (around the time M*A*S*H was filmed, at the LATEST) and then see him now. He looks much the same.
