The $ensible Sound, Staff Picks

Our Favorite Things:Recordings

Roy Nakano

"Sometimes the best new sounds emanating out of the audio system come from recordings that have been around the block once or twice. My top desert island discs represent personal treasures discovered or rediscovered this past year. Most were released prior to 2005. Nonetheless, I played these enough this past year to wear out the loading mechanism in my CD player.

Curtis Blues - Forget With Me (www.curtisblues.com). He's a street musician who plays Mississippi Delta Blues without the aid of any electronic amplification. It's like listening to the reincarnation of Robert Johnson. His guitar work is good; his harmonica playing is even better. If you happen to see him on the river front in Alexandria Virginia, be sure to pay him a visit.
