2006 In Music: Notable Mentions - Part 1

My Brightest Diamond – Bring Me the Workhorse

This is an infectious album that will hopefully be someday seen as the solid beginning to a great career. Shara Worden has a classic voice…It would be just as home in Mozart’s time as it is now.

Cat Power – The Greatest

This album is rather low-key compared You Are Free, Cat Power’s last album. But, it seems to be more musical, more subtle, more professional, and more complete sounding. Supposedly, this album was recorded in a series of days in between Chan’s drinking binges, which is amazing. This is a quality release, and while it didn’t blow me away, I can’t find fault with it.

Tilly and the Wall – Bottoms of Barrels

“Bad Education” was my favorite song about a transsexual from 2006. Team Love should be proud they have these guys.
