3 albums worth giving a listen

Or at least I think so.

I've just been listening to the newMaria Taylor album, Lynn Teeter Flower. (You should be able to listen to the album from that link). Like most first listens, for me I don't listen to the lyrics much, but I love the sound of this album. A shame I will miss her show at the Hi-Dive in Houston on April 6, but if you are in town, I say go. go. go to the Hi-Dive and see her. I saw her months ago put that was pre-Lynn Teeter Flower. I predict a grand showing.

The new and first (I think) Albert Hammond Jr. album (you can listen to it if you follow that link to his MySpace page), Yours to Keep, has also been in the rotation this week. I'm going to check his show out Saturday nite at the Marquis. He's the guitar player from the Strokes, and, dare I say, I like his solo album better than the Strokes stuff, though theirs is good, too, no question, but I like the sound of this Albert fellow.

Last, The Mountain Goats Get Lonely. I've listened to this often since I first heard of it, but it's quite to my liking. Get Lonely is my favorite song, though Wild Sage isn't bad, either.

yadda yadda. that is all.

And I actually posted a song of theirs on my blog this VERY DAY!

Uncanny!

Oh, I love all those albums too! The Mountain Goats took a while to grow on me, but it's good.

I agree that AH Jr's solo album is better than The Strokes. At least their last coupla albums.

I'm totally planning on seeing Maria Taylor at the Hi-Dive. Bummer you can't make it!!
