Currently one of my favorite

Kazzi Shae |
Swing |
Found on the web |
Kazzi has a great country
voice and her "Swiss, Cowboy and Country" is one of the truly
great cowboy yodeling songs. |

Jelani Eddington and David Harris |
Fascinating Rhythms! |
Found on the web |
Wonderful! I got it by
mistake -- the publisher sent me the wrong CD and I fell in love. It's a
piano-organ duet, played by two excellent musicians, who are clearly
having a ball. I like the performance, the selection of tunes, the
arrangements, even the engineering. JDW515326.
5/8/02 Rec'd an email from Jelani Eddington:
Hi -- I stumbled on your site by accident, and wanted to thank you for
your nice review of my recording with David! I'm glad you enjoyed
it. Best wishes, Jelani [See Jelani's

Let the Rev. Solomon Burke
cure what ails you. Burke, no longer at the height of his popularity, is
nonetheless at the height of his powers. Finest secular gospel I know
of. Thanks to Wendy Wolf for turning me on to this. |

Thanks to Bill Wollheim for

Festival
of Light |
|
I was in a deli and heard what I thought was Neil Diamond singing "Rock
of Ages." I went to West Side Judaica and said, "Do you have 'Rock of
Ages' by Neil Diamond?" They said, "No, but maybe you'd like this
'Festival of Light' CD." I bought the CD and found the song I was looking
for. It's not Neil Diamond but Marc Cohn. The CD is a compilation of material
from various artists, and I recommend it highly. |

Some albums cannot be recommended in their entirety, but there's a really good track
that makes it pay to buy the whole thing anyway.
