Aretha Franklin "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)" from the eponymous album released in 1967

I always loved this quote from Evan Eisenberg's The Recording Angel, a book I reread every few years. Eisenberg says that Jerry Wexler, "took Aretha Franklin from hapless Columbia, set her down in a Muscle Shoals studio, and tossed her 'I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You)' as one tosses a lighted match at petroleum."

Chuck Guillory, Pauvre Hobo (Poor Hobo)

http://www.npmusic.org/ChuckGuillory_Poor_Hobo.mp3

"Chuck Guillory, who alternates working as a merchant seaman and roughneck (oil-field worker), is thought of as the best fiddler in the region. He used to lead his own French string band (fiddle, guitar, steel guitar, piano, and drums) which played hill-billy and Cajun music in dance halls and nightclubs. His style is basically country-and-western, much like the fiddling on Nashville's Grand Ole Opry." notes from Harry Oster's field recording, late 1950s, Folksongs of the Louisiana Acadians.

I love this French music standard and have many versions of it, but THIS is probably the most joyous one ever! Mike Doucet of Beausoleil provides the energetic mandolin solo, and brother David the guitar solo. Second fiddler Gervis Stanford on spirited shouts, Preston Manuel on vocal pretty close to the original lyrics by the Breaux Brothers.

Lotte Anker, Craig Taborn, Gerald Cleaver - Ritual (from Floating Islands, 2008, Ilk Records)

The way Taborn and Cleaver build an ever growing hypnotic tension, combined with the beautiful and emotionally deep tone of Lotte Anker really is something special.

Yep, stunning record. Reminiscent of doom metal to me.

Bunky Green - It Could Happen to You, from Another Place (Label Bleu, 2004). This barely edged out "Tune X" from the same album.

I was prompted to spin this album after a discussion with a friend led me to question whether I was overrating Bunky Green. After I spun it, I was asking myself why I don't listen to some Bunky Green every day.
