    Excellant Rodney Crowell song. He's back in good form. Thank you for the post.

  • Ken Shane

    Jeff, I really hope that people appreciate how much good music you're giving them on a weekly basis. This is another excellent list.

    Very kind of you, Ken. I assume you're talking mostly about the Bob McGrath track, right?

    That Eno/Cale disc is made of win – probably my favorite record of the last OH HOLY SHIT IT'S ALMOST TWENTY YEARS NOW

    I enjoyed that tune by Raphael Saadiq. Has kind of a CCR guitar thing going on at the beginning.

    It's a really great record. One of the best R&B albums I've heard in years. Solid through and through.

    I know, right? 1990 feels like it was about five years ago. Where did it all go?

    I might give it a download based on your recommendation.

    Keep an eye on your FTP directory.

    Wow! I was just on the Amazon page ready to click “Download.” I'm listening to samples on emusic of Cold War Kids right now. So far, it's just okay.

    My favorite part is the guitar solo.
