zombywoof Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I buy very few LPS. I believe the latest one would have been Dave Alvin's "West of the West." I had pre-ordered it so it came with a "bonus" CD of a few extra songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountainpicker Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I rarely buy albums anymore but my last one was Lafertin Lejazz 94-96. If you like virtuoso guitar playing and gypsy jazz I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozz Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 David Bromberg 'Wanted Dead or Alive'. As impressive today as it was when it was recorded in '74. I have purchased it several times in different formats over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pittgibson45 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I recently downloaded Blues Traveler's album Four. I couldn't believe I didn't ever have the cd back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverepair Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 The David Rawlings Machine, ' Nashville Obsolete'. It's excellent. And I saw them play last week...great playing, tunes, and harmonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I still buy CDs and rip them to FLAC-files to use with my Pono player, either hooked up to my stereo or headphones. I actually got two new CDs in the mail today. Townes van Zandt: Live at the Old Quarter Neil Young: Monsanto Years I listened to Townes earlier today. I should have bought this album a long time ago. It is terrific. I will listen to Neil tomorrow. I also have two more on the way: Son Volt: Trace (remastered) Anna Ternheim: For the Young I'm especially looking forward to the last one. Anna Ternheim is simply fantastic, and this new CD is supposedly her best effort yet. I have the Son Volt album in an earlier edition, and it is one of my top ten albums of all time. We'll see what the remastered edition brings. So, yes lots of new music for me. Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Not exactly an "album", but it was "The Anthology of American Folk Music" (6 CD's, 84 songs), by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. I guess you'd call it the "War and Peace" of American traditional folk music. A little more conventional was Toby Walker's "What You See Is What You Get".

flatbaroque Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Not a new artist...but latest buy was Scott Walker - Boy Child '67-70. Singer songwriter of big lush ballads-(with a strong rich voice to suit), often with strange darkish lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on all counts, but I'm a glutton for punishment. The first music book I bought as a lad was "The Ballad Book of John Jacob Niles." Not sure what my Anglo/Scots/Irish ancestors were smoking, but it must have been some weird sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-minor7 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Good topic - and I'm willing to play. Not least because the 2 albums just flew in and make such a beautiful odd couple. They are In My Own Time (1971) by Karen Dalton and a 2013 re-recording (not-re-mastering) of Camels The Snow Goose (originally 1975) Wonder if any of you semi-geezers know these at all. Presume the next will be John McLaughlins debut, Extrapolation (1969). Basically because I need to finally hear what he does to that Bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
