2) "Blunderbuss" by Jack White
3) "Signs and Signifiers" by JD McPherson

5) "Slipstream" by Bonnie Raitt

Great album! Great artist!
Putting it at #3 was tough, but I think "Blunderbuss" and "Boys and Girls" edged it.

I've recently had it suggested to me to listen to Fiona Apple. Haven't listened to her since her debut.

She is surprisingly good. Not too "girly." Her cover of Across the Universe is one of my favorite songs.

Okay, it took a while and I had to go a little obscure but here it goes:
The Gaslight Anthem-Handwritten
JD McPherson-Signs & Signifiers
Dave Tucker- In Kind
David Byrne & St. Vincent-Love this Giant
Lee Rocker-Night Train to Memphis
These are in no particular order.

I tried to get into Nick Waterhouse. Hasn't caught my ear yet.
I'll give him a second go around.
