Limiting your choice to just three specific recordings, what are your favorites? What three could you listen to again and again and again and never get tired of them?

My favorites are:

Lloyd Green - "Cold Cold Heart"
Curly Chalker - "Gentle On My Mind"
Herby Wallace - "Four Wheel Drive"

Joe

Lloyd Green--Borrowed Angel
Lloyd Green--Farewell Party
Mike Sweeney--Nothing But The Wheel

Hard to choose my top three, but since I do listen to these three over and over again, they must be the favorites.

I've been doing my computer gig from home this week - listening to Jeff Newman's Once in A Lifetime over and over, occasionally switching it out with a CD of Tom Brumley tracks.

So this week, my favorite 3 instrumentals are:

Dance With Me - Jeff Newman
When I Dream - Jeff Newman
Sleepwalk - Tom Brumley

Last week, I had these 3 cd's with me on the road:

Bobby Bowman - Pure and Simple
Jody Cameron - A Trip to the Country
Randy Beavers - My Favorite Things

That is a tough question but here it goes in no particular order:

Nothin' But The Wheel - Mike Sweeney

Blue Jade - Buddy Emmons

JukeBox Charlie - Lloyd Green

One of these would be tied with When I Dream off of Jeff's last album, defineitely one of his finer efforts.

I dare say, that when the Maurice Anderson CDs are released (hopefully very soon) some of you will have to change your selections.
