It was Virginian. I will try one of the others. I liked her vocals, just didn't like the music.

that is the most "country" of her albums. She does have a great voice.

+1 on trying a later Neko Case album. I'd suggest Middle Cyclone

Love on TNP, Destroyer and Neko's stuff. Need to figure out what TNP to get next on vinyl. Only have Mass Romantic at this point.

My favorite is Challengers. Paul's is Electric Version. You can't go wrong either way.

Or I could sit back and watch you and Paul get into a musical preferences death match/debate of the century about what I should buy first...

Watertown
Frank Sinatra

This is different, a 'concept' album by Sinatra, as close to rock/pop sounding in tone as he got. It tells the story of a man in a small town who's wife has left him. On first listen, left me cold, I expected something along the lines of 'For Only The Lonely' or 'Strangers In The Night'.

On 3rd listen, it's growing on me. It's Sinatra, but it's .............., (I don't know).

Here's a better description and samples at this link;

I confess I do not understand why you guys like this group; but then again I am sure you say that about some the music I post. Lots of variety is a good thing so there is plenty of music for all.

Hi Laura,
I'm not going to try and sell them to you, but what I would say is you need to judge them on their albums as a whole.
My wife has actually been very surprised when I've let her know that an appealing track she's heard me play is actually Black Sabbath.
There's lots of light and shade in their (especially early) albums - Planet Caravan, Fluff, Laguna Sunrise, Changes, Orchid, Solitude, Supertzar +++
You know I like the heavier stuff, yet the appeal of Black Sabbath is the variety in the overall package.

The closure of Hole in the Sky straight into the Spanish guitar of Don't Start to Late, then directly into Symptom of the Universe's anthemic riff - Not for everyone I know - but it all takes you to another place and certainly hits the spot here

As you say "Lots of variety is a good thing so there is plenty of music for all.

"

Very true
