I watched a cool ChrictonvsChricton vid to Tom McRae's A & B Song.

After getting a Tom McRae song or two along the way from saava, I'm beginning to think maybe I should try out buying one of his CDs.

Any suggestions anyone? I don't know anything about the artist or progression of his style or anything. Just tell me what his best CD is. Unless the best CD is the one that's all acoustic with talking-level vocals instead of singing, which is the problem I often have with Tori Amos. Though she has some songs I really like, she has many that bore me to death. I can't have just cool lyrics-- I need powerful instrumentals too for music that I fall in love with.

Tom only has two albums out so far, and neither are all acoustic with talking-level vocals. *g*

If you go to Tomination.org, you can find samples of all of his songs, and mp3s for a few of his live performances.

Thanks for saying that about Tori - I thought I was the only one. Don't get me wrong, I love some of her songs, especially 1,000 Oceans, but sometimes listening to her albums is so boring that it makes me sleepy just thinking about it. I like something upbeat or as you said, something with powerful instrumentals, just to break it up.

1,000 Oceans is gorgeous-- it's one of the ones of hers that I do enjoy. I'm sure I'd know more if I listened to more of her stuff, but I've never listened to much of it, just the stuff that other people play/rec/loan/give, and the radio stuff.

I don't know that much of her stuff, but I do have a few of her albums, and there's a lot in them that's just boring. And some really weird lyrics, but that's beside the point! I'm torn on Tori - part of me wants to like her, but part of me just wants something more interesting.
