Album of the month (Page 1 of 3)

Well, since I have had a copy of Joe's new CD for several weeks now, it is my fave for January and February and probably March too.....:P

I guess this just counts as I downloaded it on 30th January - "White Sugar" by Joanne Shaw Taylor.
Its available on CD from 23rd February.

I've got a feeling that's all about to change......................

Seasick Steve 'I start out with nohig and still have most of it left' . Saw him recently and he was brilliant, bought this CD and did not think much to it at first. DAB broke down in truck and it was the only CD I had to play. It really grew on me and now I cannot stop playing it. He really is one of kind.
I sometimes wear overalls for one of my jobs, turningup wih this cd balsting out really looks the part. YEEEHAAAAWWWW

Well it isn't one album but I had a "Mule" month in January. I hadn't come across them until I joined this forum so thanks everyone who recommended them.

I've bought myself The Deep End I & II, Dose and Deja Voodoo so far and I've been listening to them (along with LFNIP) in rotation. Favourites so far are Fool's Moon, Soulshine, Beautifully Broken, Towering Fool and Little Toy Brain but really I like 'em all.

Next purchase (apart from John Henry) ?

In January four albums by two artists got heavy play for me.  They were American Myth and Giving Up the Ghost by Jackie Greene and Separate Ways and Up Front & Down Low by Teddy Thompson.  Both these guys are pretty young with amazing talent.  Greene's drawn comparisons to a young Bob Dylan in looks and song-writing, but actually his music is way more diverse than just folk.  Teddy Thompson's Up Front & Down Low is a homage to Old Country that's just plain infectious.  This Englishman does Nashville WAAAY better than anyone.  He's got a voice better than anyone I've heard recently.
Forgot to include The Mighty Orq's Milk Money - very worthy!!

I spent most of January painting/redecorating our office, well during the day anyway. It's quite a mind numbing task at the best of times although there is a certain satisfaction at the end of it I suppose. To get me through I was inexplicably re-hooked into my fave prog-metallers Threshold. The MP3 player was pretty much repeat playing their album "Dead Reckoning". Heavy with some lighter shading (the music, not the paint).

February now, painting all done, Valentines day climbers a distant memory already. Oli Brown is my early month spin, Joe of course is up soon as well as The Answers "Everyday Demons", so February will be a busy month indeed...

You can see her for just £5 on friday at the Marrs Bar in Worcester. I got a press a pass:)

I'm with Deezer on Already Free. I highly recomend it. Glad to hear Eva is digging on Monkey Beat and Gunter on The Mighty Orq. Those have had heavy rotation for some time for me.
