    blues- bores me so i don't listen. anyway, most of the best blues have already been done by guys who are dead.

    country- "It's Just The Night" The Del McCoury Band

    jazz- "sonic trance" nicholas payton

    rock- "a rush of blood to the head" coldplay (my personal favorite album of the year...in fact it ranks up there in my all time list. it's a really fucking good album. every song is solid. tasty guitar work.)

    beyond- "yoshimi battles the pink robots" the flaming lips



    you should also consider
    -"live phish #18- 5/7/94- The Bomb Factory: Dallas, TX" - phish

    -"sea changes" - beck
    it's just not a friday night without some good chinese beer.

    Shows you how evil I am... I liked "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below" by OutKast.

    To show how really evil I am... I also liked the Rhino HandMade "Faithful Virture" set by John Sebastian.

    The only records from 2003 that I purchased were:
    Jeff Beck - Jeff
    Jeff Beck - Live at BB King's Blues Club
    Eric Johnson - Souvenir

    Nothing else that I heard produced in 2003 was worth wasting even a quarter.

    Good stuff I've found in '03:

    Jazz: Cassandra Wilson- "Glamoured"
    Liberty Ellman- "Tactiles"
    Dianne Reeves-"A Little Moonlight"

    Blues/Country/jazz/Rock/Beyond(Hard to categorize)
    Jim Campilongo- "American Hips"
    Kelly Joe Phelps- "Slingshot Professionals"
    Joe Henry- "Tiny Voices"
    Joe Henry's less rural, but these 3 touch on many styles.

    Most of the obviously "rock" stuff I tried I found dissappointing.
    White Stripes, Black Keys...

    You must not have have listened to any of Delbert McClinton's stuff in the '90s.
