Shelby Lynne, Just a Little Lovin', DSD download from AcousticSounds. Very pleasant music in most natural sound.

Very good album and sound quality. This download was their best seller for a long time.

Of course, you mean "Acoustic at the Ryman" (Live).

Great new album from Ronnie Earl & The Broadcasters with a number of guest artists. Diane Blue's vocals on four tracks alone are worth the price of admission.

...It's out on SACD (24/88.2), 24/96 and 24/192 at HDTracks, and 24/192 on PonoMusic.

The initial SACD is to be avoided (for purchase). It was merely a conversion of the 16/44 master to DSD. Subsequently, a hybrid multichannel SACD was produced by Analogue Productions.

Just been listening to this after a while (HDtracks 24/88) and forgot how good it is. Natalie is in excellent form and the sound quality, both her vocals and the instrumentals is, IMO, very good. I especially like the acoustic guitar work.

Thanks for bringing up this. I went over to the Paul Simon website and found the 25th Anniversary Edition. For fans of Paul Simon there are some neat offers available right now.

 

Paul Simon Graceland 25th Anniversary Music | The Official Paul Simon Site

 

Unfortunately, the SQ of the hi res download version of the Graceland 25th Anniversary album is reportedly not very good, i.e. compressed.

Good pick, Allan. I'm seeing their show tonight in NYC. Psyched!

I envy you. Glad you enjoyed the show.

Just to pile more praise on Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings. Love this version of Going to California.

Nashville Obsolete is brilliant, as are all of their albums.

Not only are Gillian and Dave great, but there is also some mighty fine picking by the rest of the band.

Afaik Take Five was designed as a showpiece for Morello (correct me if I am mistaken).

 

You are not mistaken. It was written by Paul Desmond in 5/4 time, and it became one of the best known jazz compositions of all time.

An excellent group led by talented alto sax player and composer Allison Au.
