Music for 2006

Unlike the flurry of gigs at the tail end of last year, I've gone three months without any live music, which is three months too long. But now I do now have some gigs to look forward to. So far I've got tickets for Hayseed Dixie (recommended by Ginger) in Manchester on 23rd April, Mostly Autumn in Rhyl on 5th May, and Journey (how long since they last played the UK?) at Manchester Apollo on 5th June.

Currently listening to Journey's new album "Generations". Some great material, and a lot rocker than other more recent releases, but why does new vocalist Steve Auguri only sing half the songs?

As for Hayseed Dixie, the only music of theirs I've heard is their fantastic cover of Queen's "Fat Bottomed Girls", which appeared on a recent cover disk of Classic Rock magazine, and completely blew away everything else on that CD. Anyone recommend which is their best album?
