    Artist: Billy Bragg
    Album: England, Half English

    On deck:

    Artist: Horse Stories
    Album: One Hundred Waves

    That second band in pretty interesting. They (well, he - Toby Burke) took the name from the album Horse Stories by the band the Dirty Three (a rather awesome album in its own right) but though they sound nothing alike.

    Boozoo Bajou

    Boozoo Bajou
    Dust My Broom

    Don't get me started on this sexy music... my mistake, it was S.I.P. from this album, you know in the back seat of *Trixie in the middle of a field on a steamy summer night in New Hope, PA. There was new hope that night, just no hope soon after.

    *re: page 64 of this thread; Boozoo Bajou - Grains

    Billy Burnette: Memphis In Manhattan 96/24, DL from HDtracks.com. Max conversion from Flac to AIFF. He not only sings the lyrics, he tears it up. I have someone, may be, Theresa to thank for this recommendation a few ages ago. She had it right.
    Enjoying the music.
    Sweet dreams,

    Ah- lovely New Hope, PA. We spent out first anniversary there, in a little French place on the canal. The music, then still fairly new, that was playing was this, which I just listened to yet again.

    Fond memories indeed, thank you for the reminder.

    I always heard that line as "like a whirring blender" but it still makes me laugh.

    Richard, have you compared the SQ of your Mosaic MJQ discs with that of any of the high-res versions on HDtracks? I know Mosaic tends to do an excellent job, so I was curious about this.

    Bee Gees: One Night Only [Live] CD & DVD. XLD conversion redbook CD to AIFF. In memory of Robin Gibbs who passed recently at age 62. Only Barry is left of the Bee Gees. DVD is more dynamic in DTS, but the redbook CD sounds even better with the latest CA players. Never tire of their music.
