A couple of albums have already been mentioned - a particularly love the 
debut, while the McGarrigle Hour has the bonus of having the whole extended 
family on it, in various different combinations, and having a mesmerising 
debut (as far as I know) from Martha Wainwright called Year Of The Dragon, 
which is just wonderful, and makes me wonder when we'll here more from her.

I'd like to put in a personal shout for Heartbeats Accelerating, which is in 
some ways my favourite Kate & Anna album.  The voices are older and wiser and 
still sound lovely, the harmonies are as delectable as ever, and the songs 
are terrific, ending with a spine-tingling rendition of the old cowboy 
standard St James Hospital.
