In keeping with the "Rasmussen-Random-Selection-System" I have blind-picked a handful of CD's to put in the car for drive-time listening.

Tracy Chapman's album of the same name came out first. Some good tracks there; Fast car, talkin' bout a revolution, etc.

Energy Orchard-"Shinola" Hmmmm. Can't remember what I liked about this one.

Stevie Wonder-"Hotter Than July". I've been a fan for years and seen him in concert half a dozen times, including the "Hotter Than July" tour. Excellent.

Finally, Ray Charles-"Genius Loves company". Bought for me as a Christmas present, I felt a little under-whelmed at the time. I think I expected more after reading the stunning list of collaboraters but for all the talent on show the tracks mostly sounded detatched as if there were many miles and many years between the pairings.
Some work better than others and I owe it another listening at least.
