Seen Boz at least 10 times, and he does great work. Last 2 titles have been a snooze. Hope this is better.

A Fool to Care - William Royce Scaggs Likely he's as disappointed as I am this morning, since we both had Bucky for a College professor. On Wisconsin.

I liked Memphis a lot. IMHO, Dig (DVD-A) was his last great one prior to that.

Diana Krall - "Wallflower"

This effort is done with a basic minimalist lounge style.
Her covers of these songs are relaxing and very enjoyable with a glass of wine after a busy day.
This will get many spins at my lounge.

Thanks for your thoughts. I keep reading such conflicting reviews of this album I guess I just need to listen to it myself and decide what I think.

I have always liked her voice as it has some odd nuances to it.
This effort really expands on her voice as it takes precedence over everything else.
It is very easy to listen to and as I stated before, so relaxing.

The Waterboys
Modern Blues

Mike Scott turns down the celtic sound and turns up the Muscle Shoals on this great sounding disc recorded in Nashville & mixed by Bob Clearmountain.
There is a basic R&B structure to the majority of the songs - tight sounding rhythm section kicking it out against a Hammond organ & gritty guitar sound.
A little Van Morrison mixed with a pinch of Neil Young. Not your same shade of Waterboys' album aside from Mike's storytelling lyric style.

And did I mention it was mixed by Bob Clearmountain? The guy who is quoted as saying that he mixes all his current projects in both stereo & surround.
While a 5.1 of this album will likely never happen, I think it would sound Bob Marley "Legend" fantastic.

The Diving Board - Elton John Super Deluxe Edition CD, 2 LP, DVD & big honking book. #148 of 5000. The first Elton John album that I didn't get the first week, usually the first day it was out. Thanks to my guy Joe for this. A few weeks ago, a box (set) arrived from Amoeba. I knew it was my birthday present, but had no idea what. Still, I found out this morning that Target has a 2 CD deluxe version which has no DVD, book or LP's, but two tracks that aren't on this one. Guess I'll be stopping at Target today.

Shades of Billy Joel's The Stranger, which has a Target edition with an extra disc, and a Best Buy box with an extra disc. And, to be complete, you need a third version, the 5.1 SACD. Cash grabs.

I also got an orange box with my favorite French Champagne: Veuve Cliquot, with that distinctive orange label. Amor, ooh la la!



PS: the birthday card was a very romantic CUSTOM Hallmark card with this quote from former Chicago Mobster and Vegas "Hole in the Wall Gang" member Frank Cullotta on the back: "I had to get in a defensive mode, so I could attack."

Se Delan "The Fall" - which I bought after listening to the KScope sampler that came with SW's latest.

If you like the Cocteau Twins you'll like Se Delan who are Justin Greaves of Crippled Black Phoenix, and Belinda Kordic on vocals, a Swedish singer who previously recorded as Killing Mood.

The Diving Board (exclusive Target edition w/Gaugin Gone Hollywood & 5th Ave)
Didn't I just list the Ultra Deluxe Edition of this in post #1407? Yes, I did. When we realized that it still wasn't complete, Joe popped for this one, too. It's a pain to be a completist.
