Addiction

You know when you get an iPod or an MP3 player they should put warning labels on them. "Attention Buyer: Highly addictive due to downloading and finding music". That would be rather nice. ;) I got an MP3 player for Christmas. I think ever since my music obession has grown to new heights. ;)
Here is my list of people y'all need to look up.

  • Dar Williams: I love her. She an amazing song writer. Folk/Acoustic.
  • Ben Harper: You'll not find a more diverse artist. I think from blue grass, rock, to good ole' gospel, this guy has it. Fave download: Burn One Down and #3. Oh, forgot another good on is Picture of Jesus.
  • Amy Ray: The other half of Indigo Girls. I'm really enjoying her album "Prom". Be ready to be challenged, if you have a "anti-gay" thing, don't get this album. I'll just tell ya up front. ;) Fave songs: Let It Ring and Blender
  • Girlyman: Just another great trio. They have this really cool indie folk sound to them. I can't begin to list my faves of theirs. LOL
  • Jack Johnson: I love this guy. Very mellow sound. Not sure how to describe it. MUST get: Banana Pancakes!!!!
  • K.D. Lang: Yeah, I know...LOL BUT her album "Hymns Of The 49th Parallel" is just amazing. Very mellow. Fave songs: The Valley, Simple, and Love Is Everything. But honestly, I love the whole album.
  • Ray LaMontagne: Just another amazing artist. I couldn't begin to pick a song of his. Just CHECK him out! Very acoustic, kinda mellow, but EXCELLENT!
  • Nickel Creek: Their newest album "Why Should The Fire Die?" is amazing. not typical Nickel Creek, has taken me a bit to get used to it, but I have to say I really like it.

Anyway, just some great music I have found that I'm really enjoying. I have also really gotten back into Indigo Girls. And let me encourage you to look up Derek Webb's song New Law. Trust me you will not regret it. I still need to go and buy the album, but New Law is amazing. :)

Ok, so there ya go, one thing I have been up to. HA ;)

Bye for now!

The stuff I've heard from Nickel Creek I have enjoyed. I have a few on my i-pod too. As for Derek Webb, I bought Mockingbird the second it came out....
in fact it's right here next to me as I type this entry! I'm hoping sometime in the near future he will be in the area.... :)
