In light of that and the useful list of favorite albums that are posted around the first of the year, I thought I'd recommend a recent purchase. The album is called "Bleecker Street" and contains covers of 60s folk songs performed by such AAA favorites as Cry, Cry, Cry, Patty Larkin, Chrissie Hynde & Marshall Crenshaw. As a huge sucker for this genre of music, I have found several cuts particularly compelling: Suzzy and Maggie Roche's take of "The Love's Still Growing", Loudon Wainwright III & Iris DeMent's "Pack Up Your Sorrows", John Cale & Suzanne Vega's "So Long Marianne" and Jonatha Brooke's "Bleeker Street". Any fan of 60s folk music, or fans of the artists performing these songs will enjoy a good deal of this effort. Hope this is useful to someone who needs something to chew on before the next Shawn release. Speaking of which, a Shawn tune would have made this CD a definite must-have.

While this is not Austin (or even Boston, though the BoSox will be in town), any radio station recommendations or groovy music venues would be appreciated. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo@smoe.org with 'unsub scribe small-repairs' in the message body.
