I've seen Eden's Edge live a couple of times (thankfully without an electric guitar present) and they just shine as a live acoustic act. I was actually hoping their album would sound more like their live sets. Oh well, you can't have everything. I wonder what their album would have sounded like if they were recording for Rounder instead? Hmm...

Of the ones I've heard so far, Don Williams' <i>And So It Goes</i> really hits my sweet spot, and I enjoyed the Edens Edge debut album as well. Thanks for the recos, as always, Juli. I will try to listen to each of them soon (I have heard <i>KIN</i>, and I agree - It's wonderful). I have so many albums I need to catch up on, with Jerry Douglas’ Traveler being foremost among them.

The Rodney/Mary Carr album is great and Lee Ann Womack's track is probably my favorite too. And, yes, I’m ready to hear the Rodney Crowell/Emmylou Harris album.

I'd heard about her before, of course, but I never really paid attention until this album and now I'm hooked and have bought her previous albums as well. The whole album is great, but it's hard for me to get past the first track, "Hard Way Home", without just hitting repeat over and over again.

Some songs I wrote when we were kids that we always said we should do. 35 years later, we’re doing it.</em> Yeah, I'm pretty excited to hear this one. Since it's a record 35 years in the works, a few more months of waiting won't be too bad...

Especially with Brian Ahern at the helm. Don't get me wrong. I love Rodney and Emmylou's more recent material, but I would love to hear both of them make another record like "Pieces of the Sky" or "Ain't Living Long Like This." Sounds like I may get my wish soon. As for the duets album with Emmylou, that sounds great. Especially with Brian Ahern at the helm. Don’t get me wrong.

I think at times it's more poetry than music, but that's not a big deal for me. My favorite track on it is probably Lee Ann Womack's.
