R.L. Burnside, "Burnside on Burnside." Live electric blues album I picked
up last fall when it was being played in store at Elderly Instruments;
I thought of it again when it landed on a year's-best list by one of the
Washington Post critics. I should listen to more electric blues.

Gene Clark -- "Roadmaster", a post-Byrds solo album I bought years ago
from an Art Fair cutout bin and never listened to. Several references
to it in the All Music Guide entries for other albums I've been listening
to lately moved me to go looking for my copy, which I found unopened..
I begin to understand how krj can wind up with piles of unlistened-to
albums.. I should've listened to this one earlier -- it's pretty good
if you like the Byrds (and I *love* the Byrds..)

Anubia, "Cantarea" from last year's release SEGREDO A VOCES. This is a
Galician group composed of no less than 6 women, who sing in incredible
harmony over modern arrangements. This might be interesting to those who enjoy
groups like Varttina or Lais.

Brenga Astur, "Cancios de Gochu Xabaz." From Spain. The instrumental
tune sets are pretty nice, not sure how much I like the slower vocal
tracks yet.

Gillian Welch -- "Time: the Revelator"
I think I'll move back down to Memphis
And thank the hatchet man who forked my tongue.
(from the absolutely dreamy reference-heavy 14-minute
album-closing track "I Dream a Highway"..)

Tony Perez, FULL FORCE JAZZ. Cuban pianist alternating between small
group tracks and big band tracks. I bought this out of the player at
Schoolkids-in-the-Basement last weekend.

Malicorne, CATHEDRALS OF INDUSTRY. After the Yacoub concert this week
there is some interest in seeing how many of the Yacoub or Malicorne
CDs we can dig out. CATHEDRALS OF INDUSTRY was the final Malicorne
album, after a six-year layoff; Yacoub once told us that he had planned
that to be a solo album, but the record label (Celluloid) wanted
a Malicorne album so they could better sell the band name.
It's also one of the glories of mid-1980s electric folk, a number
of which were current and popular when Leslie & I started dating,
so they are personally very romantically nostalgic for us.
I was surprised to hear Leslie singing along with it, even though
she hasn't heard the CD in years, so I guess she's got it memorized.

Crossroads, "De Partir, C'est Mon Plaisir". Just arrived in a box
from France today. Mara and Llew Kiek, of the Australian/East European
band Mara, pair up with some Breton musicians and Scottish bagpipes.
It's been a while since a new album has lived up to high expectations,
but this album has just about everything I ever loved about Mara.
More details later.

Joe Henry, "Scar". A CD a friend gave me recently, came out in 2001.
An interesting mix of jazz, pop, and funk with sort of a Tom Waits delivery.
Pretty good on first listening; the chord changes are pretty cool (especially
since my guitar playing is getting me interested in figuring out how these
sorts of chords fit togther). Closest comparison would be that Cassandra
Wilson "New Moon Daughter" CD, in that it has a rather quiet-sounding
production with a lot of acoustic instruments but definitely not a folk sound.

Cristina "Crisis" Pato, TOLEMIA ... at first I thought she sounded like she
might be another Susana Seivane: another young Galician piper. That was before
I played the music, thought. This is fresh, while still based in tradition.
A web search informed me that Cristina was the first female *gaitera* to
release a CD, late in 1997 when she was 18 years old. She is accompanied by
a group of 28 (!) musicians, from other bands like Mutenrohi, Fia na Roca and
Berroguetto, to name a few. "Tolemia" translates as "madness" and her newer
release, XILENTO, means "hungry" or "ambitious." I definitely love it, but
I'm odd when it comes to Spanish stuff. :\

"Kilkelly" Mick Moloney, Jimmy Keane, from Vol. I of BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME
compilation. A truly heart-wrenching song of Irish immigration, being played
on KOOP's "Celtic Storm" Valentine's special.

Berroguetto, HEPTA ... The song is called "Baixando de ti" (Ken: you heard
correctly --- this CD refuses to work on my computer. Sigh)
