I'm going to start mentioning singles that you may have missed hearing, but you shouldn't overlook. The first one is Bruce Cockburn's cover of Fats Domino's "Blueberry Hill" on the Breakfast in New Orleans album. It's an incredible version that will thrill you with Bruce's and Margo Timmons! vocals and Bruce's incredible guitar riffs. Turn it up loud and enjoy!

Here's more of what I'll be listening to in the coming weeks before 2006 becomes history- Folk Alley Favorites for 2006 When National Public Radio asked us to submit the Top 10 folk CDs for 2006 (not such an easy task!), Linda collected lists from the Folk Alley staff and boiled the pile into a comprehensible list. NPR thanked us for working so quickly by posting the list on their web site and including the link on several E-newsletters sent out to music loving pub... MORE

I interviewed Bruce Cockburn yesterday. It was one of the most powerful talks I've had with a musician. He spent the bulk of our 1/2 hour talking about his trip to Baghdad in 2004 - describing in vivid detail walking through a modern airport that was completely empty apart from a handful of Ghurkas working for Custer Battles. And being surprised at how modern the city looked, and how impressed he was that the smart bombs actually worked, or at least how little was destroye... MORE

I'm still enjoying an endorphin rush from the Democratic tidal wave yesterday - after 14 years of disappointing elections I'd almost forgotten how good it feels to be on the winning side. Granted, I'm still in a blazing red district here in AZ, but a longtime family friend from church just got elected to the State Legislature as a Dem (after trying for about 10 years) so that's kinda cool. Hopefully we won't waste time whining and bickering, but I've known the Democratic P... MORE
