While there's been little or no speak of it, must admit the new Jon Dee record is pretty darn worth your hard-earned dollars. Staying in a Southwest frame of mind, the recent Lydia Mendoza collection from Arhoolie as well as their "best of" Flaco disc are also worth seeking out. And while a tad generic, New Haven's Big Bad Johns' new one on Feralette Records is helpin' me get my yah yah's out. Boudin Dan
