Glowing reviews by everybody else, but somehow the last two LC records just haven't connected with me. Glad I didn't particpate in the fan-funding scheme, shelling out $100 in advance. Still sticks in my craw as a tad greedy...<br /><br />Cool to see your list Phil. Several there I'll have to investigate. Hope you're doing well.

Downbeat for sure but quite lovely and not at all mordant... <br />Denison features on my CD but was just outside of the top 11. I do like his winsomeness... <br />Regarding Sam Baker; I'd def work his albums in order, starting with<br />1: Mercy<br />2: Pretty World<br />3: Cotton<br />4: Say Grace<br />His story is compelling:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goUN2ri62_oHissyfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865300919319235353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-67213003568517716252013-12-30T19:00:46.763+00:002013-12-30T19:00:46.763+00:00Look forward to it David; your taste is impeccable...Look forward to it David; your taste is impeccable...Hissyfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865300919319235353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-3270686629435605522013-12-30T17:26:16.861+00:002013-12-30T17:26:16.861+00:00Some nice sounds in there Mr Jones.

We agree on quite a few in 2013 - Bill Callahan almost made my list but was a bit too much like the previous 2 albums. Looking forward to Michael Kiwanuka's next album just to prove he's not a flash in the pan. Sam Baker needs further investigation as I've only seen a few of his songs on Youtube. But I'll check out Emilana & David Lang. It's been a good year for new music and I'm hoping 2014 will be more of the same. And there's always Bob to rely on. of course. Oh, and some dodgy artist called Jones. :)<br />By the way, like the photos, especially the one with the pipes :)Meetwood Flachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18119690097840630185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703706690625306888.post-20279619014649911242013-12-30T16:14:09.003+00:002013-12-30T16:14:09.003+00:00Ive got 2 of those and both jr and ps would featur...Ive got 2 of those and both jr and ps would feature high up on my top 10 .
