i listen to lots of music but i always come back to these 5 lately. started out last June. dunno when i get rid of them but still absorbing i guess..
1.
RHYTHM ANGELS- Girls Like Us (
favorite song: Until It Comes Around Again)
2.
WILCO- Wilco (
favorite song: I'll Fight)
3.
LO- FI BREAKDOWN- This Piece of Ground (
favorite song: If You Don't Love Me Anymore)
4.
BRANDON RICKMAN- Young Man Old Soul (
favorite song: What I Know Now)
5.
SARA WATKINS-Sara Watkins (
favorite song: My Friend)-
Sara is 1/3 of the newgrass band Nickel Creek. I assume those people who listen to Killer Bee and Monster know who Nickel Creek is. Or was (they're on hiatus)
6.
LOUVIN BROTHERS- Tragic Songs of Love - unlike those albums above, these one was from 1956. My favorite is the murder ballad Knoxville Girl (
“She fell down on her bended knees, for mercy she did cry / ‘Oh Willy dear, don’t kill me here, I’m unprepared to die’ / She never spoke another word, I only beat her more / Until the ground around me with her blood did flow.”)
I also purchased
John Waller's latest While I'm Waiting a while ago but still have to listen to it. Didn't open it yet but i can smell greatness in it... He's a former vocalist of the indie rock band According To John and recently had his songs featured on
Greys Anatomy and the movie
