@cafreema, rococo is one of those words that is perfect for making heads cock in perplexity when you pepper everyday conversation with it, "Man, we just found the best Mexican joint with the most rococo burritos." or "Are you wearing that tonight? I mean, come on with you and your rococo-ass shoes."
Lost this one in the Great Drive Crash of 2007, was in the process of cleaning and migrating music to another drive when the source drive died and 20% of my collection went with it. :`-( Been re-purchasing them as I go.

I've always loved this album.

I forgot how face-melting this album was...
More albums from the recent Rounder drop.
I have been neglecting jazz of late...
a lot of good albums on this page.
I need the crack of a snare and the wail of a guitar to get moving this morning.
I realized recently that I had absolutely no Talking Heads. I've started rectifying this grievous error.

Not quite the essential listening that the cover would lead you to believe it is!
I like it. It's no Funeral of course, but very few things in this world are.
I feel like I need to learn the definition of Rococo, though, so I can use it properly in a sentence. I don't want Win Butler to think poorly of me.

This is the image I learned for Rococo in Art History, and so whenever I hear the word I think of this.
Courtesy of Spinner's listening party. Ray has such a freakin' great voice.
Laurie Anderson - Homeland
- As brilliant as ever.
Hot. Damn. "Sun" is the kind of track I could leave on repeat for hours.
anyway...
Cumbia with a wah-wah.
Laid back Piedmont Blues; another Arhoolie gem.
ETA: The Smtihsonian Folksway's magazine has a bunch of articles up on Appalachian Blues, including John Jackson.
