The Gustav Leonhardt - William Byrd sounds very interesting - 16th century composers are not common, methinks
Love yr Faith Hill opinion - heh
2 - Al Barger
Thanks Aaman, just trying to keep it real vis a vis Faith Hill. I mean, I got a 20 for her, but it sure wouldn't be for one of her crappy records.
3 - Aaman
That reminds me of the song by "Pray For the Soul Of Betty", "Truck Stop Sally" - you should check out the band - features Constantine Maroulis of Idol near-fame
4 - Tan The Man
Well, this new Faith Hill record is supposed to more country than her previous albums. I think it won't be bad, but it might not be that good either.
5 - Al Barger
And while Truckstop Sally Hill is earning her 20, we could listen to some real music- KD Lang, perhaps.
6 - Al Barger
Tan, Faith Hill's album might be good- if it's a copy of the June Carter collection that she's just purchased at the store. Again, this would be good to listen to while she plies her natural trade.

Hah.

Leave Faith Hill alone! She's soft and warm and special and pretty and, aw shucks.
All kidding aside, I have heard lots worse Pop country.
She at least got her start the kinda right way: working as a waitress and playing the Bluebird at night, where she was discovered. So the story goes.

Must've made a lot of 20s

I recommend Natasha Bedingfield's Unwritten for this weeks release. Good stuff imported from the good ol' UK.

There was lots and lots of beautiful music written during the Renaissance. Byrd was I guess the major British composer during the period, although German and Italy and I guess maybe France was where it was all happening.
I've found you pretty much can't go wrong with Renaissance choral music; the intrumental stuff I've heard seems limited by the primitive instruments of the time; I'm not even sure I've heard any keyboard music of the period.

If you want to hear a great freaking album check out rock legend Alice Cooper's new album. Very old school, I love it.
