Rosie (was Best So Far - 99)
Since John brings up his best so far, I thought I'd mention I recently got the new Rosie "Dance Hall Dreams" and am a bit disappointed. I really love Rosie and keep hoping she'll release a killer album but it doesn't seem to happen. Damn The material, for the most part, never really takes off, and although the players are great (as always on Rosie's albums) there's not a hell a lot of energy in the performances either. I really want to like it, but... Hmmm. Ah well, guess I'll just have to wait for the Kirchen and Derailers and such... Or maybe I should get that Mandy Barnett g. --junior

Here's my vote: the Lily's new album. Whooo-hooo! -Original Message- From: Ph.

There's a coupla strong rockabilly kickers, and a whole bunch of mediocre songs. Hmmm. Ah well, guess I'll just have to wait for the Kirchen and Derailers and such... I don't know about the Derailers' new one, but unfortunately I didn't find Kirchen's new one to be much better than Rosie's. A coupla decent songs, and that's about it. I think he's a guy who does best when he doesn't rely so much on his own material.--don

Don: I don't know about the Derailers' new one, but unfortunately I didn't find Kirchen's new one to be much better than Rosie's. Double damn, then I really hate it when people I love come out with albums I can't get enthused about, etc. I hope we get another good one soon. This makes me want to go home and hunker down with a drink and my recently-acquired Huelynn Duvall compilation, which I *am* enthused about. --junior
