On closer inspection of the cd collection, it looks like I did actually
buy a couple “new in 2002” cds.

Nanci Griffith – Clock Without Hands
Bela Fleck & The Flecktones – Live at the Quick
David Bowie – Heathen
Trans Am – TA

of those, my favorite would have to be Nanci Griffith. It’s
the only one thats gotten multiple listens.

The Trans Am has some high points, but is mediocre overall.
But then, maybe it just needs a few more listens.

The Bela Fleck is okay, but I much preferred them in the
fusion/bluegrass days. One of the things I always liked about
the Flecktones was that even though fusion and bluegrass are both
pretty over the top styles, the early stuff tended to have a
lot of “space” to it. The new jam band influenced stuff tends
to lose that aspect.

The bowie album is pretty good, just not really something
I can listen to often. But then, my favorite Bowie album is
the first Tin Machine album, so what do I know.
