Award For Strangest CD of 2006

In doing my CD lists I realized that one CD that I'd blogged about, Johnny Dowd's Cruel Words, was not listed. If I did a list of the strangest CD's I heard this year, that would be at the top. It was a prog-singer/songwriter album mostly about bleak subjects. If that sounds interesting it is. But it does grow tiresome over an album and Dowd didn't have the songs to pull it off. His voice is as much an aquired taste as Tom Waits.
