Alternative albums that sound passable/good

"Midnight Pumpkin" - Toni Price, Austin songstress with good soulfull blues/swing, excellent guitar backing from great band.

"Widestring Tremolo" - Son Volt, country punk from former member of Uncle Tupelo. I like the recording, anyway.

"Hummingbird" - Jim Lauderdale ( all of his are well recorded and good).

"As good as it gets" - Victrola, Western swing jazz. Great band, the singer Alice Spencer is absolutely incredible. Very well recorded.

"Long way from home" - Gibson Brothers, wonderful bluegrass singing and playing. The brothers sound great singing together. (not sure the title is exactly right, but close)

"Hooray for the Moon"- John Dee Graham, another Austin guy, good alt country/rock. Jim Keltner plays drums.

"Unplugged" - Alice in Chains, this has been posted many times, but the recording is incredible, audiophile quality acoustic hard rock.

All three Soul Coughing albums sound great. Very creative production and sonics galore. One of my personal favorites, I really wish they hadn't broken up.

Pell Mell - Interstate
Seam - The Problem With Me
Pedro the Lion - Control
Pedro the Lion - It's Hard to Find a Friend

I have the Scissor Sisters on LP too,and it does sound good!

Antony and the Johnsons-"I am a bird now"-great record!
