New Music


Somewhere on some blog I was reading someone mentioned this guy's music and I checked it out and love it. I wish I could give credit to who ever put me on to him but thanks is going out to the blogsphere for this.

His name is Idan Raichel and his music is fascinating:

The Idan Raichel Project burst onto the Israeli music scene in 2002, changing the face of Israeli popular music and offering a message of love and tolerance that resonated strongly in a region of the world where the headlines are too often dominated by conflict. With an enchanting blend of Ethiopian and Middle Eastern flavors coupled with sophisticated production techniques and a spectacular live show, the Idan Raichel Project has become one of the most unexpected success stories in Israeli music today.

I checked out the music...love it! I have been looking for some new tunes to put on my MP3 player for the HOURS I spend in my truck every day! My truck has an auxillary jack so I can plug the MP3 player right into the main system...beautiful.

PS - new Xavier Rudd album is out but I can't find it anywhere! Checked out the new single (Better People) on his website: www.xavierrudd.com

Thanks for the tip Miriam, love his stuff. I've been listening to a lot of cool music lately including some cool 30s blues a friend put me on to. Blind Willie McTell. If I find Rudd I'll let you know!
