ALTROK Ordinals 16

Various Artists - Listen To What The Man Said: Tribute To Paul McCartney (Tribute/Oglio)
Jeff says:Okay, I really don't think I have to explain this one much. 16 songs from McCartney's solo and Wings career. Contributors include Owsley (Band On The Run), Semisonic (Jet), Matthew Sweet (Every NIght), Sloan (Waterfalls), World Party (Man We Was Lonely), John Faye Power Trip (Coming Up), Robyn Hitchcock (Let Me Roll It), and still more.

Beaver Nelson - Undisturbed (Black Dog)
Jeff says:Yes, that's his name. Austin-based singer/songwriter's 3rd release. Nelson comes from the same songwriting school as Bruce Springsteen, Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Jimmie Dale Gilmore...very American, some rock, some country, very good.
