I really liked the last two CDs (Imaginate and Garage Mahal) - kind of a Power Pop Boy Band-like sound (Swirl 360 anybody?)Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989731157508894362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202058.post-1141702170449010132006-03-06T22:29:00.000-05:002006-03-06T22:29:00.000-05:00Aaron, thanks for the recs.

(Reissues, EPs, compilations and pre-2005 releases were not eligible.)<BR/><BR/>Universal Blues came out in 2003 (the Redwalls did have an 05 release, De Nova, which had its moments but was uneven in my opinion), The Rusty Anderson was from 2004, and I do very highly recommend it, esp. "Electric Trains". <BR/><BR/>The Curt Boettcher came out in 04 as well, and was an unreleased 70s album that was pretty nice in an Emitt Rhodes/early McCartney manner. I can't speak for the Liverpool Echo, having not heard it, but it's a 70s reissue itself.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09686774590181054257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202058.post-1141700410983025322006-03-06T22:00:00.000-05:002006-03-06T22:00:00.000-05:00Criminally Overlooked here...Rusty Anderson - Undr...Criminally Overlooked here...<BR/><BR/>Rusty Anderson - Undressing Underwater<BR/>Curt Boettcher - Chicken Little was right<BR/>The Liverpool Echo - s/t<BR/>The Redwalls - Universal Blues<BR/><BR/>Check'em out!Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989731157508894362noreply@blogger.com
