I forgot to mention Jason isbell's album, it's right up there with guy Clark's album....a very strong outing if not the best if the year.

Agreed. I enjoyed Songs From St. Somewhere much more than I was expecting to but it's just not a top ten contender for me. If I could include one more it would probably be Pearl Jam's Lightning Bolt. I also just acquired the debut album by the Letter Jackets but it hasn't had time to sink in yet. Just in case you aren't aware of them, the Letter Jackets (formerly the Jackets) is a rock n' roll band fronted by Chandler Holt and John Teer of Chatham County Line. I'm sure there will be some other new releases between now and the end of the year that will cause me to reconfigure my list.

I am by no means a music connoisseur. In fact I only like the music I like because I simply like it . There is no rhyme nor reason to what I like so here is my little list.

Elton John - The Diving Board

Tropical Soul - Little Summertime

Me too, Linda. I don't purchase a lot of CD's/Albums. I usually just download one or two songs. But I bought these two:

You'll enjoy the show. I just saw him in St. Louis on Sunday and it was 2:45 of nothing but the hits.

For those that may not have heard it, Terry Gross did a real nice interview with Elton about Diving Board on NPR's Fresh Air back in September.
