hi
id probably go for - in no particular order from number 2 onwards:
01 - shadows & light
02 - bob dylan - bob dylan
03 - mary chapin carpenter - hometown girl
04 - emmylou harris - wrecking ball
05 - michelle shocked - kindheartedwoman (Original acoustic version)
06 - daniel lanois - for the beauty of winona
07 - tom waits - tales from the underground ('cause its 5 discs long & i can get more
music!!)
08 - richard thompson - action packed - the best of richard thompson
09 - beth orton - central reservation
10 - keb mo - keb mo
& smuggle on disc - sophie b hawkins - timbre
& i have to ask - i recently got hold of an album called "love me or leave me - the
best of mary coughlan" which was on my list but got bumped when i remembered the keb
mo :-)
does anyone know anything about her - she is absolutely superb!!!! a warm, voice,
plenty of timbre, styles of music all over the place, great arrangements, some really,
really wicked lyrics (tho i dont think she writes them - she sure knows how to pick
them!!)
if you like mary chapin carpenter - run, dont walk (to steal a phrase from this list)
to check out the "other" mary
