So far my fave is Demons by the Cowboy Junkies, a collection of Vic Chesnutt covers.

... and also blessed (lucinda williams) & collapse into now (R.E.M.)... Just listened to the R.E.M. cd a couple of times yet. Somehow it sounds a bit repeated, & well, predictable.... let's see whether repeated listens will make it sound better. The Duran Duran & the Radiohead, referred to above is pretty cool.

other albums listened to - "so beautiful or so what?" - paul simon; "21" - adele; P.J. Harvey's new CD... Simon's CD is pretty good. Adele is tad bit too pop-inclined for my liking.
but the CD from Foos & the Duran Duran CD stand out.
..will look out for the new 'peppers' CD, the new "Yes" CD, Vedder's solo effort & Buckingham's new CD.
Joderu, how is "low country blues?"

It's good. It's all covers but one. They're mostly not real well known blues songs that he covers though so that makes it better for me.

Skying by the Horrors and Cat's Eyes by Cat's Eyes are both amazing LP's that I have been listening to a lot lately.

2011 in 19 songs and 80 minutes:
1. Gillian Welch – The Way It Will Be (from The Harrow And The Harvest): Because Gillian and Dave have been playing this live for years, and they finally released it. And it's still one of the most haunting songs I've heard since Neil Young's stonedest 1970s.
2. Amy LaVere – Damn Love Song (Stranger Me): Because the world needs more snarky female double bass players.
3. Wooden Shjips – Lazy Bones (West): Because it sucks me down into the maelstrom the way Spacemen 3 used to.
4. Lykke Li – Sadness Is A Blessing (Wounded Rhymes): Because you can never go wrong with the "Be My Baby" drum intro, and because that chorus just wraps my heart in ice and cotton.
5. PJ Harvey – The Last Living Rose (Let England Shake): Because it's probably the greatest album of the year by one of the greatest living songwriters, and at least partly because she played it straight in David Cameron's face when they found themselves on the same TV programme.
6. The Vaccines – Post-Break Up Sex (What Did You Expect From The Vaccines): Because it's pop music.
7. Mastodon – Black Tongue (The Hunter): Because it's metal.
8. Thurston Moore – Illuminine (Demolished Thoughts): Because you realise that somewhere deep down, the Sonic Youth frontman really always wanted to be Nick Drake.
9. Bob Dylan – The Love That Faded (The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams): Because I can never leave Dylan off any list if there's any way I can help it.
10. Tom Waits – Pay Me (Bad As Me): Because nobody breaks hearts like Tom, and this song makes me want him to never tour again if this is what it's like.
11. Bass Drum Of Death – Velvet Itch (GB City): Because it's fucking rock'n'roll.
12. Timber Timbre – Lonesome Hunter (Creep On Creepin’ On): Because it's about zombies. Among other things.
13. Los Campesinos! – Every Defeat A Divorce (Three Lions) (Hello Sadness): Because part of me still loves Prefab Sprout and I think Los Campesinos! do too no matter how much they pretend they don't.
14. Lucinda Williams – Seeing Black (Blessed): Because it's Lucinda Williams. What else do you want? She can do stuff like this in her sleep.
15. Laura Marling – The Beast (A Creature I Don’t Know): Because it scares the hell out of me.
16. Wanda Jackson feat. Jack White – Thunder On The Mountain (The Party Ain’t Over): Because I can never leave a Dylan cover off any list if there's any way I can help it, and because at 74 Wanda Jackson rocks harder than most people one third her age.
17. Kurt Vile – Jesus Fever (Smokering For My Halo): Because I don't know how much weed Kurt Vile smokes, but it's obviously just the right amount to come up with circular dopey-grin melodies like this.
18. Comet Gain – Some Of Us Don’t Want To Be Saved (Howl Of The Lonely Crowd): Because, well, it's true. And because I'd given up hope for more music from Comet Gain, and this chorus reminds me why that would have been a shame.
19. tUnE-yArDs – Wooly Wolly Gong (W H O K I L L): Because every album should end with a spooky lullaby set to ukulele and electronics.
1. Gillian Welch – The Way It Will Be (from The Harrow And The Harvest): Because Gillian and Dave have been playing this live for years, and they finally released it. And it's still one of the most haunting songs I've heard since Neil Young's stonedest 1970s.
