Dear Silenus Charm Elf:

I've thought of a couple of CDs I'd really love to have:

I was watching The Devils rejects a few months ago and was very taken with some Terry Reid songs that Rob Zombie included on the Soundrtrack - unfortunately, if I want to buy them on iTunes, I have to buy the entire soundtrack and I have all the other songs. So i looked him up and he turns out to be quite the influential but forgotten artist from the early seventies. I have obn my Amazon Wishlist 2 of his CDs:

Seed of Memory
River

I am also very in love with a current folkish group called Hem and have none of their recordings. 2 of their songs have been used in American insurance commericals and they are both unbelievably wonderful - "Half Acre" and "The part where you let go". I would love any of their CDs or EPs which are:

Rabbit Songs
Home Again, Home Again
Funnel cloud
Enveningland
Birds, Beast, Flowers
No Word From Tom
I'm Talking With My Mouth


I would also love to have any Stephen Stills Solo material or that album he did as Manassas - the earlier the better - I'm an early seventies kind of gal. I may only have been 6 in 1970 but '70 thru '75 seems to be my big musical fave era

I don't have any Chris Hillman solo stuff either and I love him. Hard to say which ones I would like. I love Steve Earle but the latest CD I have is The Mountain. The Mountain is my favortie of his post-heroin comeback records but I would love to have a copy of Train a Comin' because it has a wonderful song on it that Emmylou Harris later covered called "Goodbye". His version is just as heartbreaking as hers but for very different reasons.


How's that?
