Hocus Pocus

In June of 2007, I asked respected friends for music recommendations so that I could get some fresh music in my collection. Both derek becker and Jim Boyd gave fascinating tips, and I bought eight of the albums they plugged:

• Chenier, Clifton, 60 Minutes with the King of Zydeco
• Field Music, Tones of Town
• Griffin, Patty, Flaming Red
• LaVette, Bettye, I’ve Got My Own Hell to Raise
• Mahotella Queens, Izibani Zomgqashiyo
• Medeski, John, The North Mississippi Allstars, and Robert Randolph, The Word
• St Germain, Tourist
• Sun Kil Moon, Ghosts of the Great Highway

Thanks, guys! Strong picks that have enriched my listening.
