Hear these, hear these

February 26, 2007

Here’s a glimpse of four albums I’m listening to a lot right now, and I highly recommend them.

John Mellencamp Song: Someday Album: Freedom’s Road Great album. This song is not necessarily my favorite on the album (although I like them all), but the one most available besides “Our Country”, which everyone has heard too much now thanks to Chevy.	Josh Ritter Song: Girl in the War Album: The Animal Years One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums right now. Thanks to Scott for the recommendation.
Keane Song: Bedshaped Album: Hopes & Fears From AOL sessions. I love these guys. This is their 2004 disc, and I do not have their newest (2006) yet.	Mark Erelli Song: The Only Way Album: Hope & Other Casualties Also an excellent album. Not the best recording, plus it’s only partial. (Again, thanks to Scott.)

I’ve heard a few cuts from the new Mellencamp and liked what I’ve heard, especially “Someday.” Good call.
I’ll have to pick up the CD.

Great choices. I’ve been a Mellencamp fan for 25 years. I even have some albums of his that were only released in the UK.
But I haven’t been able to get into his new one yet. I’ll give it another spin.

Yeah, I always loved him, especially in the Scarecrow/Lonesome Jubilee days. I lost touch a little in the late 90’s, having downloaded most of his later albums but never really listened to them a lot.

I saw him on The Daily Show recently and decided to check this out. It’s not often I really love an album on first listen. But, I loved this one immediately. Of course, Scarecrow is one of my all-time favorites.
