  • OK!!!! I've been wanting to do this for a long time, 'cause it's been since last Christmas since I did a post about albums that I found out about in the last year and think are just amazing. Here goes! For starters, we have Chris Thile! This manis the lead songwriter and mandolin player for Nickel Creek. His solo album, Deceiver, is just amazing. Lyrically, the album covers issues such love and confronts issues of faith, not concerning itself with the prospect of making a few people angry. The music is amazing... crazy instrumentation, crazy production. It's beautiful. Tracks 2, 3, 6, and 8 are key.

    Next we have Joe, Marc's Brother... Around the Year With is a nice little bit of feel-good pop mixed with great jazz elements. Interspersed are more pensive tunes reminiscent of Colin Hay or Nick Drake. The central theme is love (missing it, finding it, learning from it.) I love this CD! You can listen to "Ready to Change,"and "Hideaway" on their myspace. Check it out!http://www.myspace.com/joemarcsbrother

    Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning... This CD interests me for several reason's. This guy's ideas are always conflicting. Country influenced, super unique. Beautiful... Track two is key.

  • all three are great.
    I approve.

  • thanks for the cd  advices, I got some songs  from the album Deceiver...really cool, thanks   again ! How is it going in new york ?????

  • I dunno, I guess I would keep both (can't  you take one as a  major and the other as a minor ? ) Anway, both areas deal with arts and you have to know that this area is  definetly a real competition, I guess I would have taken  music if I didn't chose archeology and art history, plus, you're brother is in the same area so it could be good for you. I think that if you take music you would improve music theory and I'm sure it would help you a lot for your compositions, it did for me so, maybe it will for you...I'll pray about that for you.
