Chad K.:
Any A.A. Bondy fans out there?  http://www.myspace.com/aabondy  Pick up American Heart.  It's simply beautiful.

gospel:
Some love for a local label. They have a 10y anniversary compilation too -- which I can upload as well. Though, It's not quite as good as this 5-year one; it's fairly hit-or-miss comparatively (not without its gems).

--- Quote ---Since hoisting the "insurgent country" banner in 1995, Chicago's Bloodshot Records has provided refuge for former punk rockers who embrace Hank Williams Sr. as patron saint and Lefty Frizzell as kindred spirit. Informed by equal measures of attitude, alcohol, and twang, this raucously vibrant birthday collection of previously unreleased material resists the corral of categorical conformity. Instead, highlights range from the Waco Brothers' banjo-driven breakdown of the Who's "Baba O'Riley" to the shimmering, haunted ballad, "Favorite," by Neko Case and Jon Rauhouse. Featured within the 40 tracks on this two-disc extravaganza are label stalwarts such as Alejandro Escovedo (renewing Mick Jagger's "Evening Gown"), Robbie Fulks, and Kelly Hogan, along with guest artists ranging from Graham Parker to Giant Sand. Plainly a labor of love, the set provides a definitive survey of the diversity of music carrying the alternative-country brand.

Commodore:
Nickel Creek's last album before they broke up, Why Should The Fire Die? is truly spectacular.  Their previous albums were decidedly more bluegrass, and that influence shows way through with the fiddle and the banjos and other delicious whatnot, but the album takes more of a turn for the 'indie'.  It's definitely worth a listen.

Zingoleb:


May as well.

JD:
So how about those Dixie Chicks?
