The Cash American albums are superb and 'The Man Comes Around' is full of wonderful versions of some great songs, although I wish the engineer had controlled the levels a bit better in the peaks of 'Hurt'.
The new Steeleye Span album is a great return to form with a more traditional folky sound and excellent production and engineering. The new remasters of the first five Chrysalis albums (on a 3CD set called 'A Parcel of Steeleye Span') has also had lots of play time here the last few days. The remastering has been beautifully done on those.
I was late coming to Steve Earle but I love 'Washington Square Serenade', and his recent tribute to Townes Van Zandt, entitled 'Townes'.
I work for a Sony Centre, part of Sony's Direct retail channel. All opinions stated here are my own.
