The Picks Of The Litter....

The Jimmy Rogers All-Stars / Blues Blues Blues...on Atlantic 83148-2

T-Bone....this 1's a must 4 every lover of The Blues and 4 music lovers alike....'Dis is what it's about...some of the greatest musicains of all time help Jimmy tell his stories....Clapton, Jagger & Richards, Page & Plant, Taj Mahal, Stephen Stills, Jeff Healy, Lowell Fulson, Johnny Johnson, Kim Wilson....This is great thru & thru again....I listened 2 it 4 days on end when I got it.....Choice cuts....USDA approved...WOOF!!

The Black Crowes/ By Your Side......on Columbia CK 69361

T-Bone.....this 1 get's goin' right from the start, w/ the intro 2 "Go Faster", U know that the boys R back...they put the last 2 sorry releases behind them & they're gettin' back 2 writing good stuff...."Welcome To The Goodtimes" was featured as a KZDG-5951 Song 'O The Day a few weeks ago....man, I love that song....it alone warrents it's purchase....but go & get it 4 yerself...you'll enjoy it 2....

The Rest Of The Pack....

Paul Westerberg / Suicaine Gratifaction....on Capitol CDP 7234 8 59004 2 6

Ham Bone.....In my ears, Paul can do no wrong....He's 1 of my favs...so of course I love this 1....But this is not like the ol' days of The 'Mats...musically he's grown up & he shows it on this...it has a great feel 4 a CD released in Winter...the songs kinda mesh w/ cold weather...good thing it was 12 degrees when I got it 'eh?...." Fugitive Kind" is THE song on this, IMHO....but the more I listen 2 the entire CD, the better it gets....check in 2 it...I recommend !!

Sugar Ray/14:59.....on Lava/Atlantic 83151-2

Ham Bone......I heard the song " Every Morning" on the radio & liked it so I bought it.....didn't really like thier last release "Floored"...but @ least it rocked.....this 1's like a " Chick CD"....somethin' 4 the ladies.....and there's nothin' wrong w/ that....I'm just using this as a way 2 describe it....alright then.....4 all the gentlemen out there...this is a "1st date CD"....put this in & she'll dig it...I better stop B4 I put my paw in my mouth....woof?

Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds/ Live @ Luther College......on RCA 07863 67755-2

Ham Bone......This 2 CD live set was recorded, I'm guessing, after Dave's band released "Crash".....it's an accoustic show where they play versions of some of Dave's band's hits & lesser known classics....a must have 4 everyfan.....

The Offspring / Americana....on Columbia CK 69661

Ham Bone...."Pretty Fly ( For A White Guy)", "She's Got Issues", "Why Don't You Get A Job?" and a rousing rendition of "Feelings" are some great cuts on this light hearted & even sometimes funny CD....but then again what can you expect from a band where the guitar player's name is Noodles....it's worth a shot..check it out.....

HEMPilation 2-freetheweed ....on Capricorn 314 538 246-2

Ham Bone.....this is a great CD....some great stuff on here.....20 songs....this 1's 1 that'cha just put on & let it play....great mix....some great covers...Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise's version of "Don' Bogart Me"...Spearhead's " The Joker"...Gov't Mule's "30 Days In The Hole"....Freddy Jones Band's "Light Up Or Leave Me Alone"...Big Sugar's "Let Me Roll It"...& originals by Willie Nelson, Dar Williams, Fun Lovin' Criminals & George Clinton gets goin' doggy style..so reguardless on how U feel about the weed..( not that I'm abdicating anything ) ...this is a great CD...so give it a shot.....woof?

The Specials/ Guilty 'Til Proved Innocent !.....on MCA MCAD-11735

Ham Bone.....This came out last year sometime...maybe Summer??...well, I just got it a few weeks ago & I really like it....so I'll pass it on 2 ya....I haven't heard anything from these guys in years....so it's good I got it I guess...."It's You" is a great song along w/ a few others...maybe I shoulda listened 2 it again B4 I posted this...ah well...I remember it's good though...so check it out....& if my memory serves me correctly..it's like every other song's good....there's like 18 songs on it 2...some aren't listed on the back & they're live cuts....so get it....

Fun Lovin' Criminals/ 100% Columbian....on Virgin 7243 8 23140 2 8

Ham Bone\ #3 Bone....this is a good CD..it's gotta a R&B sound 2 it...."Korean Bodega" is a great song & it's pretty good all the way thru...if modern R&B's not yer bag..steer clear...it could bite ya....woof?

Son Volt/ Wide Swing Tremolo.....on Warner Bros. 9 47059-2

#3 Bone....the 3rd release by these guys & I think they shoulda waited a while B4 lettin' this out...I just found it a lil' depressing....it has that "feel" 2 it....I like this band...they're last 2 were really good....watch out 4 this 1 tho...it could bite ya....

The Runt Of The Litter.....
