Blood On The Tracks -- Remastered CD
Bob Dylan
1975/2004 Columbia Records
Amazon.com
Inevitably, when critics praise a new Dylan album, they label it the "best since Blood on the Tracks," and with good reason. Inspired by a crumbled marriage, and recorded after a tour with the Band had apparently re-ignited his creativity, Blood is among Dylan's masterpieces. The album's epic songs are well known, but its real high points are the shorter numbers--"You're a Big Girl Now," the flawless blues "Meet Me in the Morning," and the sweetly devastating "Buckets of Rain." These are songs of "images and distorted facts," each expressed through tangled points of view, and all of them blue. --David Cantwell

David Bromberg Quartet. Live 1 hour ago. Here they came back for an encore, walked past the microphones and played a wonderful version of the traditional 'Come All You Fair and Tender Maidens' From Sideman Serenade, Rounder 3110.

I think it is wonderful. I love the stripped down Pancho and Lefty on the studio session disc.
Disc Two (demos) is crazy good. Simple, raw very emotional. Timing and voice pitch defects are everywhere, but like 'Live at the Old Quarter' it is Townes at his best.
The two CD package is wonderfully designed with excellent liner notes by Colin Escott.
As a bonus for us audio junkies, the booklet includes is a photo of Townes sitting on a couch smoking and drinking (natch), behind him what looks like Harman Kardon tube separates on a sagging bookcase shelf and an AR-XA turntable on a folding table. I have never seen this photo before. I am sure the experts here could ID the gear better than I.

The first CD copy I purchased of "Late Great TVZ" way back when (on Tomato) has that stripped-down mix. Never explained why.

Leaving Eden -- CD
Carolina Chocolate Drops
2012 Nonesuch Records
Leaving Eden, CCD's second full-length Nonesuch disc, was produced by Nashville stalwart Buddy Miller, the go-to guy for artists ranging from Solomon Burke to Robert Plant to Emmylou Harris. On this 15-song collection, recorded live in the studio with all the players in a single room, the Carolina Chocolate Drops illustrate their own adaptability to grow and change. Following the amicable departure of founding member Justin Robinson, band mates Rhiannon Giddens and Dom Flemons recruited three exceptional new players for the recording and expanded their repertoire to incorporate more overt blues and jazz elements and straight-up folk balladry alongside brilliantly rendered string-band tunes. Robinson's replacement is Hubby Jenkins, a Brooklyn-bred guitarist, banjo player, and singer who had previously busked his way around the country. Joining the revamped trio in Miller's studio were beat-boxer Adam Matta, introduced to them by the NYC gypsy punk band Luminescent Orchestrii, with whom CCD released a live EP on Nonesuch, and New Orleans-based cellist Leyla McCalla.

Time (The Revelator) -- CD
Gillian Welch
2001 Acony Records
Amazon.com's Best of 2001
The considerable promise carried forth on Gillian Welch's first two albums is thoroughly fulfilled on Time (The Revelator). Welch has traded the guidance of her previous producer, T Bone Burnett, for the sympathetic studio skills of her longtime guitarist-harmony singer David Rawlings, who loosens the reins just enough to allow moments of spontaneity to sparkle within the duo's spare, eloquent playing. "Revelator" is an instant classic, perhaps the first great folk song of the 21st century. "I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll" is three minutes of Louvins/Everlys-style bliss. "April the 14th, Part 1" haunts its historical context with an achingly melancholy melody. It all leads up to the epic 14-minute "I Dream a Highway," one of the finest closing tracks ever put on record. --Peter Blackstock
