Recently discovered Rex Allen.

His Pop and Country stuff is enjoyable but is traditional Western material is amazing.

Great voice and perfect phrasing.

For the last 3.5 months Fay Hield's Orfeo has been more often in my CD player than outside of it.

In the last weeks she has been joined by the Fellside re-issue of Peter Bellamy Sings the Barrack-Room Ballads of Rudyard Kipling and by The Very Best of Stan Rogers.

Current Top 5:

Naragonia Quartet - 'Batiska'
Flemish band playing gorgeous multi-instrumental dance music, just makes you want to dance wherever I'm listening to it. Just fab.

Gilles Le Bigot - 'Empreintes #2'
Great performances from Marthe Vassallo (singer) and Gilles le Bigot (guitar), but the real attraction for me is the God-like genius that is Jean-Michel Veillon on flute, especially when duetting with soprano saxophonist Ludovic Mesnil ...

The Old Dance School 'Chasing The Light'
Widescreen cinematic loveliness from the Birmingham septet. Again, worth the price of admission just for the interplay between the low whistle and trumpet.

Calum Stewart & Heikki Bourgault 'Calum Stewart & Heikki Bourgault'
Full-on flute from Calum Stewart playing bourrees, polskas, an dros, and the occasional reel, with great accompaniment on guitar and cittern from Heikki Bourgault. The best new flautist I've discovered in many a year.

Penguin Cafe - A Matter Of Life ...
Minimalist but warm, serial but organic, I'm just so pleased to have the Penguin Cafe back in action, and there's some stuff on here every bit as good as the classic PCO repertoire.

Four slots in the Bose, one in the main unit, three in the CD changer.

All four slots are currently loaded with Baltimore Consort CDs.

Great stuff! I heard them here in Seattle a couple of years ago, and I've heard they're coming back! December 14th, this year, at Seattle's Town Hall.

In the car a double CD (one at a time) of other people singing Bob Dylan songs in honour of his 70th birthday. Can't say I'm impressed. Only track I've played several times is Its Not Dark Yet sung by a guy with a Wandering Star voice and I keep trying to remember to check who he is. Mostly I'd much rather hear the Dylan original but the car won't even play cassettes never mind 7" reel to reels.

Honestly?

Some of the raw recordings for the The wife's new album. All trad and all Scottish - Anarchie Gordon, something in Gaelic I can't spell, Banks of Fordie, Slaves Lament (OK Burns not Trad, but lovely all the same) etc, etc. Just her a'cappella or with her guitar (or bouzouki). I think most of the tracks will probably stay like that as well.

Apart from that a stunning album from Lucy Pringle & Chris wright ..... covers pretty much the same territory as above.

Has Wendy been feeding me Tartan Pills I wonder?
