I was particularly impressed with Beck's work and Nick Cave always gets a thumbs up in my book. They weren't bad for honkies. I don't know much about Lucinda Williams. Marc Ribot was fantastic.
As for Shemeika Copeland and Cassandra Wilson, I don't know a thing about either of them. Ms. Wilson was getting a good bit of airtime though.

He covered one of Renoir's tunes, I believe. I don't remember which one. It was him, guitar, bass, organ drums. No Blixa.

Hey, did any of you get the feeling that the Swedish woman thought her husband's Swedish sucked?

Shameika was the one up first with only one song? I really liked her endition.
To be contrary I didnt think that much to any of the others… Well maybe Lucinda Williams.

I think so. I know she had only one song, but don't remember the order of artists.

If you're not familiar with Cassandra Wilson, check out her New Moon Daughter release. Great covers of everyone from Neil Young to Hank Williams to a Hoagy Carmichael to (gasp) U2.
She's got one sexy voice and is one sexy 40something woman.

Cassandra Wilson had blonde dreads. Shemeika Copeland had reddish brown hair. Both incredibly attractive with solid voices.

'twas Shameka I liked her voice was outstanding. the other blonde dreaded one was too jazzy for me.

That's funny. I love Cassandra Wilson, and would say S. Copeland is too bluesy for me.

Are they covering any of the great country blues artists of the 20-40's like Memphis Minnie and Sister Rosetta Tharpe?

In my opinion, none of the new artists held a candle to the old stuff.

I would reply in-kind with a comparison of you to another board member, but since there is nobody lower on the pecking order, I'll just have to say:
No problem, Rhett.
