I emptied the car player yesterday - What's in my CD player? Some really odd sjit, on many ocassions
"The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook" (Damn I wish I could write like him)
Mighty Sam McClain - "One More Bridge To Cross" Kind of like Les McCann & Eddie Harris go to funk church in the French Quarter. Good stuff.
(Long Tall) Marcia Ball, Angela Strehli, Lou Ann Barton - "Dreams Come True" The queens of Texas unite, with Dr. John producing. A near masterpiece.
Santana "Supernatural" The cut 'Corazon Espinado' may be nearly worn off the disc by now - Old School Carlos, playing from the heart, with a touch of that screaming guitar pain perhaps from what happened in his childhood mixed in? J'know that Carlos can't read charts? Doesn't seem to have hurt him any though.
Michael McDonald's second Motown album - a little over produced, but the boy got some pipes on him. The track "Tuesday Heartbreak" phew - Go Mikey.
My wife's copy of John Mayer's new one "Continuum" A lot of his stuff is not my cup of tea, but the kid is an IMMENSE talent. Thanks to some ebay scalper tickets, we saw him from 5th row center at the Tweeter Center for my wife's birthday, and on a lot of his cuts, when it sounds like 2 or 3 guitars, it's all Mayer. He's the real deal, not something burped out by a producer.
