Discs you play again and again


To qualify for heavy repetition in my house, a cd has to be good music and a good recording. I would like to share the following 4 discs which I can't get enough of. (mostly pop)

1. Tori Amos-Scarlets Walk-Epic cut- A Sorta Fairytale, Bosendorfer Piano and killer vocals- my favorite recording
2.James Taylor- October Road- Columbia- cut My Traveling Star- again killer vocals- great recording!
3. Keb'Mo'- The Door- Sony SACD- cut The Door finally a poppish SACD that's not a repeat of some 25 year old analog recording- this one is new and beyond good
4. Dave Mathews Band- Crash RCA- cut So Much To Say- great dynamics - great everything

What do you have in heavy rotation now?
Happy Holidays

ps- Serve all recording selections with a glass of Kostriker Dark Beer

Rodney Crowell-Fates Right Hand

I bought "Houston Kid" because of a review in Stereophile, and it never quite took off for me. But I thought enough of Rodney Crowell to buy "Fate's Right Hand", and I love it. What a fantastic album. Stereophile should follow up and listen to it. I've seen it very cheap in Tower Records.

Regards,
Strawinsky "Rite Of Spring" under Valery Gergiev! And that without an eggnog!!!
The 1975 Phil Spector and Dion collaboration "Born To Be With You" and Dion's 1976 "Streetheart". Both these albums are available on one UK import CD. Also, Dion's 1993 "Rock n' Roll Christmas" CD has been getting heavy rotation this week.
