>   Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye  (best Motown album ever??)

I knew there was a killer one that I was forgetting. Bingo, Michael!

I guess in the general public's perception Fleetwood Mac's s/t album - the 
first Buckingham/Nicks one - was a comeback of sorts. Personally the whole 
Bare Trees/Kiln House/Mystery To Me/Penguin/Future Days/Heroes period (I 
know I typed them out of sequence) is my favorite, even though I also enjoy 
much of the latter era and the Green/Spencer blues era.

Two great comebacks are among my favorite records of 2006, from bands who 
hadn't made a record in 30 years - Jo Jo Gunne and Cactus. JJG is the 
original foursome (I forgot what a great slide player Andes is) with about 
half new and half credible remakes; they sound better than ever. Cactus is 
the original band minus the late Rusty Day - and just having Jim McCarty 
wailing on guitar again has made my year. They're supposed to be touring 
(beyond the NYC and Euro Festival dates they did last month) and I am so 
*there* if they do.

Bruce Brodeen, take heed!

cheers
