You are right (list above, UPDATED). I believe he also toured in support of this? I wish I had gone to see him at House of Blues in nyc. Hopefully others will let me know if I missed anything else on my list (I'll happily find the links).
But in the meantime, what do people think about the Mac in '08? I think it's been an exciting year. I know over at my blog, it's been difficult to keep up on the news and even with the output of the artists.
Lindsey's album is, in my opinion, the best album of 2008 (above Mariah Carey, The Wedding Present, Dolly Parton, Beyonce, The Killers, The Ting Tings, Vampire Weekend, The B-52s, Ne-Yo, Al Green, The Pussycat Dolls). I also feel that "Did You Miss Me" was the single of the year. I used it to get a number of people, including my aunt and uncle to go out and buy the album.
I got to see both Stevie and Lindsey in solo concert for the first time!!! And was close enough to touch them. That was eye-opening. I got to see first-hand that Lindsey is in peak creative form. His live rendition of "Shut Us Down" made me cry. I learned that Stevie has IT -- that magical quality of charisma that makes a star. That was commemorated for me with the Soundstage airings on PBS where I heard anew songs like "How Still My Love" and once again thrilled to a Live version of "Edge of Seventeen" I get to listen to or watch as often as I want.
Jeremy Spencer's In Session iTunes release was a perfect follow-up to his really quite wonderful 2006
Precious Little. The track "Psychic Waste" gets replayed here -- standing as my personal anthem/armor for the worst movies offered in 2008. I thank him for that.
The Christine Perfect Blue Horizon gave me my fullest taste yet of the Christine Perfect album (which I still don't own). It's great to hear her beginnings as an artist (I also have the Chicken Shack Blue Horizon collection). I need to give it more listens though.
Oh and Bekka Bramlett rocks! Her "What Happened" kicked the butt of Patty Loveless' "Silver Springs" on the same album.
