@reubent,

I missed you dude. I love Courtney and actually, I wanted to play her latest. Your post reminded me...

I bought the Emmylou from www.insound.com

Register with them and wait for their 55% off about 3 times a year.

Now... Courtney...……..

Hard to pick one or even a dozen. I came of age listening to albums and didn't move the needle that much. Even now when choosing a CD I tend to listen all the way through. I agree with many already mentioned, I'll add a couple I bring out more often than others. Abraxas -Santana and Crosby Stills and Nash. 

Reubent and Slaw:
Love Wrecking Ball and Lanois' production which led me to buy Teatro with the same Lanois musicscape. With Teatro though, it's Willie Nelson and EmmyLou and it is one of my favorite albums of all time.
