And what about Lucinda Williams?

@gunner01I don't find the Catherine Wheel recording quality to be too bad, but I agree that it is not as good as the recent Ride releases. Wishful thinking, but I would love to see CW remaster their catalogue and release a box set with some live r...

@gunners01 Thanks for the heads up. I will check them out. I have been going through the Catherine Wheel catalogue during the quarantine. Another great "wall of sound" band and certainly under appreciated. I like "Ferment" and "Adam and Eve".

Fish- "Weltschmerz" is a terrific album. Due to Covid, you have to order it off of his website www.fishmusic.scot. Self released, it entered the U.K. charts at number 2 in Sept. which is pretty amazing for a guy mailing albums out of his garage. 
Good CDs to Test Your System
One of my favorites is "High Falls" from the Allman Bros. album "Win, Lose, or Draw". It is a pretty deep track instrumental in the Bros. catalogue. I like it as a test track for many reasons- the synchopated rhythm from dual drummers Butch Trucks...
