I need to get that. Looks like the only on the list I have is Alabama Shakes, a decent enough bar band.<br /> <br />Anything on the list anyone would highly recommend?<br /><br />Today I am listening to Martha Wainwright's "Come Home to Mama" (stunning) and Kid Koala's "12 Bit Blues" (really well done turntable mixes of old blues.
