I'm in my "really enjoying a lot of new music" phase

Just downloaded a great album - "O be Joyful" by Shovels and Rope.
Listen to "Keeper".
I was just down to the ol' Gulf Shores with my good buddy Joey and his special lady friend, Pam
(That's Pam from Pamela's Three and Half Star House of Spaghetti)
(and if you listen to the first track, "Birmingham", the line is "...Delta Mama and a Nickajack Man..."
Not something else that sounds much, much worse the first time you hear it.)

Also, Band of Horses new album.   http://www.bandofhorses.com/us/home
