- Word of Mouth by Mike + The Mechanics. (A truly melancholy album, mostly filled with songs about the break-up of a relationship/marriage. It happened into my life just as my marriage ended.)
- Be The Love You Want by Southern Avenue. (Many people will like this. Me? Meh. I really like their first album though.)
- Instores & Outtakes by the North Mississippi Allstars. (Good combo of roots rock, blues, and that weirdness that says “Delta music”.)
- Happiness Bastards by The Black Crowes. (What happened to them after the first album or two? Apparently a shift toward the center.)
