'Diana Krell's Paris live concert with Celestian 10' FR OB + Dual CV40 combo.Excellent recording.

Her rendition of Billy Joel's Just The Way You Are on this live album is nearly as good as Billy Joel's.

Super album and one of my favorites.

Also, check out the Traveling Wilburys, a super group consisting of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jim Keltner. I have both their albums.

+1 to that - You said it musicbee - I have heard them and they are super cool unfortunately I dont have a very good recording

Some numbers I have been enjoying recently:

Ronan Keating - Something Big, from Ronan Meets Burt album. Ronan Keating sings standards by Burt Bacharach. I love the lively acoustic guitar work on this song and the two ladies doing backing vocal duties.

Another number I was listening to: Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds Time in a Bottle, an excellent acoustic cover of Jim Croce's hit. Babyface is one hell of a guitar player, btw.

Munchener Freiheit - Keeping The Dream. Excellent vocal harmony by this Gernan band. Avoid the cheesy music video, though.

Sarah McLachlan - Illusion of Bliss, very nice despite the sibilance.

Spyrogyra - You Can Count on Me

Rokia Traore - The Man I Love, by the songstress from Mali. Features exotic stringed instruments, and her exotic voice. Excellent recording too.

Jennifer Warnes - Famous Blue Raincoat. The plaintive cry of the sax intro can send shivers down your spine. And what voice. IIRC, this song is composed by Leonard Cohen.

Break Out - haven't heard. I will YouTube it.

Jean Luc Ponty - I bought some LPs in very fine condition. Somehow I couldn't really warm up to his amplified violin music.

I am with You - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Tina Arena - Only Lonely
Genre: Adult Contemporary Pop.
One heck of a stunning ballad!
Minimalist, moody, atmospheric, sad, warm, slow, almost dreamy and deeply emotional. The lyric is simple - haiku-like, really. The music, simply strings. Tina's sultry, bordering on the ethereal, delivery is spot on. This is simply a pleasure to listen to. Recommended, especially if you like ballads.

Thanks. It's beautiful.

Couldn't help grinning at the obviously fake "recording session" though. Notice the look-no-hands piano at the end!
