Grace-Jeff
Buckley
Jeff's
only "official" studio release when he was alive, this record
displays what a rare talent he was and sadly hints at what would probably
have been a brilliant career. He
was really the whole package.

Edges
of Twilight- The Tea Party
By blending countless ethnic instruments, complex dissonant melodies,
and crisp, full vocals by Jeff Martin, this cd packs a punch on virtually
every song. All
of The Tea Party's cd's are brilliant, but I think this is the best
example of what they represent and what they bring to the table.

Bob
Dylan- Blood On The Tracks
Probably the greatest songwriter ever to live, I think he reaches his
pinnacle here. Due to his prolific writing, he has so much material
out there and not all of it is good. However, when exploring his recordings,
this is the best place to start..and the best place to finish. He's
still putting out great music today.

Crooked
Fingers- Red
Devil Dawn
It can
be described as a mixture of haunting mellow songs and drunken beer
rants (quite a mix!). A lot of it is very dark stuff, but I wouldn't
say it's necessarily depressing...It's completely different and original
in every way, and I really didn't know that music this smart existed.
Their first two cd's are similarly outstanding.

Guy
Forsyth- Can You Live Without
This
album
takes Guy Forsyth, Austin's most talented musician in my opinion,
from being a awe inspiring blues performer to also being an impressive
songwriter. He really can do it all, and his recent releases are proving
that.
