Sounds nice. Doesn't come out until tomorrow (Tuesday the 17th) but you can hear all the tracks here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...ryId=120013389
"Light as a Feather" sounds particularly good so far.

". . . as you have no doubt noticed, no one told the 4345 that it can't work correctly so it does anyway."—Greg Timbers
nora jones might be the thing for you young hippsters, but just now im following miles davis through his porgy and bess. little old, but very nice. i always startle at the beginning, when the brass section screams in...like a sonic reset. before i drift away into the grand coolness of the music...

I'm selling a pair of JBL 4435 in Vienna, Austria
Best Buy had it for $9.99 today. Even an unemployed old guy like me can afford that!
I'll let you know what it sounds like off disc.
Later:
Well...I'm unimpressed with her new production crew. I want to hear her voice. I don't want to hear her voice double-tracked with the effects turned up to increase the room size and reverb, and layered with noise. Or synthesized/enhances with fuzz, and saturated and compressed. The production quality of her latest is pretty much like anything else these days with the exception of maybe two stripped-down songs that still mess with the "hall size" button. Quite sad since I'll always recall Donald Fagen's high praise for her previous recording "Not too Late" and its production and sound quality. Now she's saturated, compressed, loud and the lack of natural dynamic range is compensated for with more effects.
I'm not sure this one will find its way into my normal rotation. Sadly.

CCR - A great debut album
I saw them in the Bay area (Pleasanton Race track) in '69 (or was it 68 ? them days are foggy) ....Fogerty took the mike and announced that "the next song is from our upcoming album" ...they played "I put a Spell on You" (which was wrong, since the first album was already out - but we didnt care)
EDIT: I found it !!
