Been listening to some good music lately, so here's a follow up to my music post from late last year.

  • Josh Rouse's Nashville - wow, I didn't expect to see Rouse improve on 1972, but this album is a masterpiece and has been on constant rotation for me over the past 2 months.  Favorite tracks: "Streetlights", "It's the Nighttime", and "Sad Eyes."
  • The Duhks - it's hard to categorize this eclectic band from Manitoba - think bluegrass, folk, soul, with some latin beats mixed in.  Favorite tracks: "Four Blue Walls", "Everybody Knows", and "True Religion".
  • Patty Griffin's Impossible Dream - Her debut Living with Ghosts is one our family favorites and I figured it was time to see what she's been up to lately.  There's some good material here but it will take a few more listens for me to solidify an opinion.  Favorite tracks: "Kite Song", "Top of the World".

Agreed, Nashville is a fantastic album. I'll check out The Duhks. I thought I saw some blurb where Ryan Adams has a new album out, but I might have been smoking crack. off to look...

On the off-chance that he slipped through your music listening cracks, you oughtta check out Ray Lamontagne. His Trouble album is really top-notch stuff in the Josh Rouse vein (sorta, kinda).
