I have aquired a few new cd’s that are worth mentioning.
Interesting enough, Bonnie and Johnny both do covers of Bruce Springsteen songs.
Johnny Cash – American V : A Hundred Highways
The 5th album in the american recording series is good and sentimental since it was released more than a year after the death of the legend. His voice is older and raspy but it sounds like it has been around for a thousand years.
Tortoise & Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy – The Brave and the Bold
Will Oldham is a genius! I did not like this album when I first heard it but in true Bonnie form it gets better every time I listen to it. I don’t understand how this man can take a song like “Daniel” by Elton John and turn it into something I can not stop listening to. Genius!
Deadboy & the Elephantmen – We are Night Sky
This is a band that Josh turned me on to. Worth checking out. Speaking of covers he does a cover of a Bonnie song.

Okay, I picked up both the Johnny Cash and the Tortoise one, and I totally concur. That Daniel song is really good. I like the rhythm a lot.
Haven’t heard too much of the Deadboy one but not crazy about the samples I heard in iTunes.
Thanks for the music recommendations. I felt I was getting a litle stale there.
