I thought I'd try introducing a 'column' of sorts, that we can all contribute to, in these weeks leading up to our year end lists.
The purpose of "For Your Consideration" would be to give a quick shout out to albums that you are considering including in your top ten list.
My hope is that this will mean that I hear more records that are on all your lists before the overwhelming behemoth descends at the end of the month.
And that we can get a little more discussion in too....
So, first up for me - the new Blitzen Trapper album. Pretty solid, especially if you dig a souped-up classic rock sound with nice Grateful Dead guitars.
Check it:
Sleepytime In The Western World
Saturday Nite

Saw them live a few months ago and posted something as I recall. I like them well enough, but they won't be making my list.
But good call, Tex. I've got at least 2 bands I've gotta tell everyone about in the next 2 weeks or so, because they're definitely making my Top 10 and they haven't gotten enough publicity!
Blitzen Trapper already made my top 5 list !! A classic album.
For my money, this release, while not perfect, lacks the weakest moments that their last record had...highly recommended if you like these songs.
This is indeed a great idea. I'll have a contribution tomorrow.
I've never heard these guys but was intrigued by your description. I like both the songs you included here - especially Sleepytime. The total Jerry Garcia guitar lick at 2:30 is pretty fantastic.
I headed over to their MySpace and listened to what they had their - I still liked it, but it all got very "same" to me. I had trouble distinguishing songs. Of course, I felt the same way about Lie Down in the Light when I first got it, and it's in heavy rotation for me now.
