I just ordered it from B&N where they were charging a whopping $4 for the CD. I'm old fashioned and tend to buy CDs and usually from B&N because they tend to be lower priced than Amazon (Amazon doesn't want to sell CDs for less…

Actually, you didn't name drop enough--Andrew Bird, Brandi Carlisle, Merle Haggard, Buddy Miller, and Amy Lavere are all part of the project too. I've only heard a couple of cuts but it sounds like a must get. It's a little more a…

Clearly everyone has overlooked the Yo-Yo Ma box set: * 90 CDs - every original album Yo-Yo Ma has recorded * 2 bonus discs - including previously unreleased music * 312-page hardcover book * Velvet-lined, limited-edition, numbered box If you get…
