I wish I'd heard this album earlier, I would have included it in my list of best albums of the '00's...
but I hadn't, so I didn't... but I'm making an addendum to that list now. This album is awesome and I'm glad I finally heard it, if you haven't heard it definitely check it out.
Then for the longest time nothing, I listened mostly to guy based tunage. I started listening to Janis Joplin, Patsy Cline and other woman artists of the past, but nothing contemporary really grabbed me. Now, over the past few years I've started listening to a bunch of awesome ladies; Martha Wainwright, Basia Bulat, Amy Millan, Feist, and of course Neko Case. I still love all my guy idols just as much, I'm just glad I have contemporary woman musicians that I can relate too, respect and be inspired by. Basically what I'm saying is;
I am inspired and I am grateful.
Speaking of inspiration, I recently had the luck to be present for a live performance of Rodrigo y Gabriela. It made me want to run home and pick up my guitar immediately.
And fear not, I've still been working on my photography. I should have another photo update for you soon!
