Right now, what is burning up your ears?
What is blowing out your speakers, having the neighbors call the cops, melting your mind, or just assisting your groove right now?
I got a slow burn on with Let Me Be Your Man by Tyrone Ashley's Funky Music Machine. Soulful, vintage, dusty, and recommended.

Truth and Soul has dug up and polished a slice of history that is finally available for your listening pleasure. Culled from master tapes and that survived a house fire in the late seventies and was then shelved in Mr. Campbells home studio for close to thirty-five years, Let Me Be Your Man is a look at the raw soul and genius of a man who never stopped making music from the heart. Truth & Soul is proud to present a definitive collection of music from the one and only...Sammy Campbell. (Truth & Soul

Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Lee Scott's.
And I am making a determined effort to go through my various Label collections, mostly blues and R&B stuff, like Delmark Records, Minit Records, Jewel/Paula or Fire/Fury boxes, Aladdin Records.
Not the calling the cops part though, because my neighbor is a St. Paul cop.

That's a good set. Have you seen the DVD? It has some stuff not on the album, including Clapton (yeah, I know, how many times do those guys need to play together, but at least they don't play "Further On Up The Road" for the 35,264th time), Joss Stone on "People Get Ready", and Imogen Heap on a couple of tracks.
I'm wearing out the new-ish Cheap Trick ("The Latest") and "Tinted Windows" by the band of the same name. Really nice power pop. Really. Nice. Neither of which are on eMu.

Now, what am I listening to? Yim Yames - Tribute To. A 6-song EP. The echoing tenor we know from My Morning Jacket, but not a rocker. It is quiet, introspective.

Man I wish that guy was still around.

I cannot remember what TV show it was that used Hurt where I first heard it. I was at iTunes as soon as the show was over.
This is absolutely true, but it is worth buying the CD for the bonus DVD, which has the video. I guess it is probably on a tube someplace, you need to see it, especially if you are a long time Johnny Cash fan. It will make you cry.
There you go. And a stark contrast to the Quantic I've got flowing now.
One of my all time desert island discs -- and I'm still amazed at the courage of Cash to do a project like that in 1964. He took out full page ads in Billboard slamming on the radio for being too chicken to play it. Heh. One highlight is "Custer" where he's clearly high as a kite.
Apache Tears on You Tube.
So if its on eMusic now, I highly recommend it.
Johnny Cash Sings The Ballads Of The American Indian: Bitter Tears. Only 8 tracks. I don't have this one on CD, so off to download I go, based on your recommendation.
I may well need that full disk though when my refresh comes around in a couple of weeks.

Update : on further listening, I'm much less impressed.
Bill Frisell's new album "Disfarmer"
Guillermo Klein's recent Sunnyside release "Filtros"
Both excellent.
Disfarmer is such a pretty album, keeping in the style of Frisell's "Ghost Town" and "All Hat".
Klein's Los Guachos has a really appealing sound. He performs vocals on a couple of the songs (giving an impression of Vinicius Cantuaria's work with Lee Townsend), but mostly it's nu-jazz but with some elements that I'm unable to distill out and into a description that make this a special album.
You can't get Disfarmer on emu, but you can get Filtros.
