Howdy,

OK, I'll admit that I'm late to the party on this one, but I just want to
say that Eilen Jewell is great! I bought her Letters From Sinners and
Strangers this week and have pretty much been listening to it constantly.
She she has that jazzy/bluesy thing going kinda like the Squirrel Nut
Zippers but she puls in more roots influence. In a lot of ways she reminds
me of The Little Willies. Anyway, I hope she comes to the area sometime
soon.

I also love the ragged edge on Peter Case's Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John.
And I expected the new Lyle Lovett CS, It's Not Big It's Large, to have a
very smooth jazzy sound to it, which many tracks did, but there were also
quite a few edgier tracks on the CD is well which was a pleasant surprise.
All in all a good week for new music!

I'm heading out to Austin for the Austin City Limits Festival this week.
I've got my recorder all ready to go and lots of extra batteries so
hopefully this time next week I'll have lots of show recordings to share.

As always, the full rotation is
