Djin Djin: Angelique Kidjo: I love her voice. Here she does the Rolling Stone's Gimme Shelter -- I'm looking forward to that. She also works with Joss Stone and Santana on this new album.
Sky Blue Sky: Wilco: The new one from my favorite group. I hear it's more a return to older Wilco -- as in Being There. The one song I've heard from this album, What Light, seems to bear that out.
Into the Blues: Joan Armatrading: It's been since 2003, I think, since she has released a new album - - something that wasn't just a compilation of songs I already own or a live album. I have really missed her and was glad to see a new release.
Breakfast in Bed: Joan Osborne: Joan Osborne is more than just the singer of the annoying One of Us; she has a great voice which is shown to good effect when she covers R & B singers. This album is an homage to 60s and 70s R & B, and I'm anticipating something really good.
One of the Boys: Gretchen Wilson: I never really got into Here for The Party but I loved All Jacked Up -- I'm hoping this one will be more along the lines of the latter.Icky Thump: White Stripes: This is technically not May music since it won't be released until June and there's no cover art for it yet but it's another one I'm looking forward to. Jack is back with Meg.

I'm thinking I had better start writing down your music recommendations as we seem to have similar reading tastes! Van has alwayd been a favourite.
Do you have any Shawn Colvin? I have her latest and really love it. Another favourite is Alison Krauss - especially her solo album - Forget About It.
I hope your big Tweedy/Farrar list means that one of the people who looked at my house last night will purchase it!
Rufus Wainwright also has a new album coming out the same day at "Sky Blue Sky". He's always worth a listen.
If I remember correctly, the official release date on "Icky Thump" is June 14th-ish. Whatever Tuesday in June is exactly one month after Wilco & Rufus Day
Oh! Forgot! There is cover art for "Icky Thump". They put it on the official White Stripes website a few days ago. It's fabulous!
What's better than triple Wilco? Nice!
Good mix this week!
I look forward to the new White Stripes cd...should be good!
nutmeg: I love Shawn Colvin -- that lastest cd is just great. And Allison Kraus -- I love her -- she's actually the first person I saw in concert here.
Robin: I hope so too. I didn't know there was new Rufus -- I'll have to add it to my wish list too.
Katya, you need to go touch Robin's crapshack. You are channeling some kind of luck!
Oh yeah. New White Stripes. I'm in line for that.
Dix: I do, don't I. I've been sending all Wilco related luck her way.
I'm thrilled about new White Stripes.
I love Wilco. But you know that.
bb: a coworker of mine got the new Wilco cd through probably nefarious means, so I'm listening to it early! I love it! Yes, I did know you liked Wilco -- and Radiohead. It's time for Radiohead to come out with something knew by the way.
