Paula Cole at Rubin Museum of Art in NYC; Utah in Dec.

I don't know if Grammy winner Paula Cole is winding down her latest tour, but if you can, catch her either in Park City, Utah (Dec.15) or NYC (Nov. 30). While all the cowboys have seem to left the building, Cole's voice is as good as ever. Her latest effort, COURAGE, is more contemplative, if not introspective. It's the first album from her in 8 years. To me, the 39-year-old Cole's opus THIS FIRE is one of my all-time favorites.

The new album's most accessible tracks are "14", "Comin' Down" and the moody "Until I met You," a duet with Blue Nile alum Paul Buchanan.
