We are getting back to a good time to listen to Benji, it is definitely a fall/winter album. Fair warning it isn't an easy listen, but it floored me the first time I heard it.

Check out there release for record store day "what I'm doing here". Rachael Price did the vocal in one take. Pretty amazing.

I almost put Jack White in, but assumed others would. Need to spend more time with the Ryan Adams. After just a few spins, it feels like a lot of filler to me, but he's one of my favorites, so I'll give it more time.

I liked the Beck record. Shoudl've listed it. It's really mellow, though. Several of them were great in concert though.

I need to check out the New Basement Tapes. Also should check out JTE. I have some of his older stuff, but have kind of overlooked him recently.

A new Spotify list is ITT. Thanks to all. Always dug Doug Paisley. My only add is the Bloodshot 20th Anniversary album: Andrew Bird covers Jon Langford, etc.

Sunny Sweeney - provoked is one I left off. She's probably not real well known, but she's great.
