OK, I suck at any kind of review, so I put about 1/2 cent worth of info and links.
 Susan Tedeschi
This is a gem I heard from Dave Cope in the Audio Note room. Regardless of what the critics say, Susan is pretty fine guitarist and has a nice tone to her voice. I tend to find Bonnie Raitt's vocals quite over the top and prefer Susan's voice. I've heard some of her stuff, but never this particualr CD. If you like slide guitar ya'll might want to check out Susan's husband Derek Trucks. A remarkable guitarist!!
 Muddy Waters
Muddy Waters. Need I say more? What I liked about this album besides Muddy's distinctive voice, was the fact that the guitar was acoustic. Another great album from Dave's room.
 Louis Armstrong
This was a 45rpm promo that Dave had that was just absolutely stunning. I don't have any idea what the CD might sound like, but the vinyl was just unbelievable. Satchmo in the room with you.
 Lou Reed
I'm not that familiar with Lou Reed's stuff besides the obvious that's played on the radio, which is a shame after hearing a few tracks off this CD in John Busch's room. The sound on the CD was very, very good. "Walk on the Wild Side" was the best I had ever heard it.
Grayson Capps
If you like acoustic guitar, a fiddle, and a voice then get this CD. Grayson has a voice that is just completely haunting and tells wonderful stories and the picking is superb. I've heard this CD for two LSAF's now and keep forgetting to buy it. No longer!!!!
 Vivaldi
Keith Larson brought out this CD Sat afternoon to surprise us. He said it was a collection of Vivaldi concertos that have never been performed and recorded until recently. It was a collection that was gathered and kept in a church basement for many years until found. I'm only familiar with a few Vivaldi pieces, but thoroughly enjoyed this CD as it seemed slightly different than what I had heard before.
