Big Satan's Souls Saved Hear is a big ol' slab of jazz-noise skronk fun. One of these days I'll get around to a review, but it comes HIGHLY recommended from this guy.
On the complete opposite side of the musical plate, and I don't understand why this isn't listed among the AMG releases, is all 8 albums Megadeth did on Capitol Records re-released in not only remastered but remixed glory. I bought two at Best Buy yesterday (they stuck them out early, apparently) and Dave Mustaine has done an amazing job with the mixes - removing all the production effects that dated the sound of these classic albums (well, several of them are classics, at least.)

yessir! i've got an older Big Satan recording and it's definitely big, room-clearing fun.

Gotta put in my two cents for the local boyz, Old 97s; Rhett Miller is maybe one of America's best contemporary songwriters, but most of yall outside the Lone Star State wouldn't know it.

i saw Rhett Miller open for Tori Amos. he was pretty good.

I'll be picking up the Old 97's for my wife, actually. Cool band, we both like 'em a lot but this one's definitely hers (and Rhett Miller's a great songwriter - catchy, intelligent, and fun. His solo album's quite good, too.) I, however, get to torture her with the Megadeth CDs in exchange.
6 - Mark Saleski
that alt.country genre is just loaded with interesting stuff. i picked up a copy of No Depression one day and after a half-hour or so my want-list had grown by at least 10 entires.
gotta get me one one 'o them money presses.

Alrighty then, what would be a couple or three top likely Rhett Miller or Old 97 songs to hunt down for sampling?

the four Megadeth discs I picked up so far are incredibly improved.
Risk actually sounds almost like a metal record now.
10 - Tom Johnson
Jim S: be sure and pick up MD45 - it's now the "lost" Megadeth album with Ving Lee's vocals replaced with Mustaine's. In fact, it's a better Megadeth album than either Cryptic Writings and Risk are, harkening back to times closer to Megadeth's early days - much more raw and energetic, not to mention fun.
