I too have had The Blind Boys of Alabama in the player the last few days. "Spirit of the Century" is a fine album with a team of blues musicians on backing such as John Hammond and Charlie Musslewhite. It's on Real World Records.

Luther Wright & The Wrongs - Rebuild The Wall

This Canadian band takes on "The Wall" by Pink Floyd from start to finish with bluegrass, honky tonk and old school country. They do a surprisingly good job with it too.

Steve Earle - Jerusalem

Peter Gabriel - Up

Gov't Mule - The Rising (DVD) and the The Deep End II with a boat load of well known bass players paying tribute to Allen Woody.

Edgar Meyer - Unfolding Long out of print masterpiece with Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas and the usual suspects.

The new King Crimson EP should arrive soon.....

Kim Richey - Rise

Bebo Norman - 10,000 Days
