My Morning Jacket – “Evil Urges”
I’ve had this disc for 1 day and already it’s my frontrunner for Album of the Year. I’m starting to suspect that Jim James is not from this planet 8)“Evil Urges is a remarkable rock album—and certainly one of the most fulfilling and varied in recent memory. The album has My Morning Jacket breaking down the boundaries of genre—perhaps proving that this is one of the rare bands that may eventually transcend categorization. Instead of being constrained by past successes, they’ve gone and produced an unpredictable gem populated with all varieties of popular music. Evil Urges is—much like the city where it was recorded (NYC)—impossibly diverse, endlessly fascinating and, most critically, triumphant.”

Buddy Miller – “Midnight and Lonesome”
I now understand why Emmylou seldoms goes on the road without Buddy. Great singer and player !
I’m listening to Just Us Kids by James McMurtry. Good stuff.
I saw Mudcrutch in Santa Barbara recently. It was a good show. Great album for sure.
The War on Drugs – “Wagonwheel Blues”
Classic rock+Springsteen+Animal Collective+Tom Petty+Velvet Underground+’70s AM radio+The Walkmen+distortion+Dylan? Possibly.
Who cares? Listen to it anyway! First cut’s a killer!
Sweetheart of the Neighborhood by the Dedringers is my new favoriite record, for now anyway. They are from Austin, TX, and are touring with James McMurtry and Hayes Carll. I saw them with McMurtry at the Troubadour in West Hollywood last month and will see them again in October opening for Hayes Carll.
I can’t stop listening to Amy Winehouse. She is really brilliant, and a great writer, too.
Lu, Amy and Aretha are the most soulful singers alive today.

I agree – I love her voice.
It’s a shame, though, that she has the personal problems she does. Seems like such a waste.
And, it’s a bigger shame the d@mn media won’t leave her alone about it all. Despite all the perks, it must really suck to be famous these days…

Preordered Zac Brown Band new CD and you can download the CD after order, and also get a 10 track live set from Chicago Blues Club, well worth taking a listen, they would be fun to see. Good song writing IMO.
Bob Dylan – Tell Tale Signs (The Bootleg Series Vol. 8…Rare and Unreleased 1989-2006).
Have had this for about a week and haven’t gotten past track 8 on disc 1 because of multiple replays.
Just when I’m ready to give Bob a rest, he puts out a bunch of “rejects” that re-enchants me. “Red River Shore” is a masterpiece, imho.“Red River Shore” is fantastic. I can’t believe that hasn’t been released sooner, but then again it is Dylan we are talking about.
How about “Can’t Wait” on disc 1? I like it more than the album released version.Yeah, that would be cool. Ring them bells would be cool too.
Did you buy the 3 disc set? I couldn’t justify buying that. I’ll just wait for a genuine bootleg copy. hahaDylan gets tons of cash from me each year also. I pay more to bob than I do taxes. 😀
It’s worth it though. I try to go to at least 2 shows a year. It gets expensive but he’s not going to be around forever. The shows aren’t nearly as good as the 1999-2002 shows. The set lists were awesome and so were the musicians.Have you heard when Chronicles vol 2 is coming out? Getting “Tell Tale Signs” got me in the mood to read Chronicles vol 1 again.
