BY RECOMMENDATION of our last list...
Richard Thompson - Front Parlour Ballads
"E" (Mark Everett) - Broken Toy Shop & A Man Called (E)
BY DISCOVERY OR VERBAL RECOMMENDATIONS....
Les Paul & Friends - American Made World Played
Steve Hackett - Voyage of the Acolyte
The Thorns - The Sunset Sessions
Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals - Burn To Shine
3 - Wake Pigs
Since I have just about worn these out, I am looking for more great suggestions from my fellow OFCers. |

| Hendrix: Blues
In the player, and, my favorite for the past few years. The first track is unaccompanied acoustic of "Hear My Train Comin'". I just got the tab, and plan to learn it, one lick at a time. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Martin Zeller (and The Hardways)- I'd recommend "Live, Two Guitars, A Bass and Drums". Acoustic/Electric Rock with an folky/rockabilly edge. His voice is ever so slightly reminiscent of Jimmy Dale Gilmore. Good Stuff. I really like "Time and Time Again"..."The Many Moods of Martin Zeller" is good too as well as Stonebobbo's choice...
On the player...
Best of John Redborn... (Virtuoso Blues/Celtic)
Pat Metheny "One Quite Night"
Chris Smither, "Live as I Will Ever Be"
Kasey Chambers, "Barricades and Brickwalls"
Scott Miller, "Thus Always to Tyrants" |

Location: GA USA | Bobbo, if you like Soul Asylum, you should try their albums "Soul Asylum and the Horse They Rode In On" and especially "Hang Time". After loving these two, I hated "Grave Dancers' Union".
I've been listening to some rockabilly lately, especially Flat Duo Jets and Cigar Store Indians. |

Location: closely held secret | Um... "Sunset Drive"... the first sampler from McPherson guitars.
You can actually download the entire album here. Whether you like Mcphersons or not, this is some high quality pickin' and strummin'.
Edit: Just noticed if you click on "Listen to Mcpherson Music", bottom left corner, you can stream them.
Oh, and Big Notes by Flim & the BB's. No guitars, but any of thier albums make me smile and start tapping my foot.
I think the De Grassi anthology is in there too, just hasn't made it around yet. |

It is "Aqualung" live (2005), with Anderson and Barre and then the rest of the band. Sounds terrific and it is nice to hear them play it from start to finish in really great quality and sound. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | I've had Sirius Satellite for a year now. It single handedly saved radio for me. When I left the Philadelphia radio market to live in Va, I just stopped listening to radio accept for WAMU (NPR). Commericial radio in all but a few regions is unlistenable any more
Yea, Sirius! |

After about 6 hours of banjo music Cliff could buy anything he could want as long as it's not a banjo.
