Do you really listen to all your music? : Townes van Zandt - Our Mother The Mountain

It came to my attention that some people might not know of this country’s 2nd best songwriter (2nd to …) . If you don’t, stop right now and go buy his eponymous classic.

This album was a bit of a surprise, I thought I remember it being subpar but upon my recent listen, it delivers. It’s not his best but it is a solid effort with such classics as “Be Here to Love Me Today” and “Our Mother The Mountain” (plus I like the way he says “Tecumseh Valley”).

Do you really listen to all your music? : The Little Willies

A great collection of country classics from Norah Jones and friends. Some of her best work and a true collaboration where she doesn’t overwhelm the group as a whole. One of a few 5 stars in my collection
