New Digs......

Friday. It feels good to be on time, and to have some tracks to post. If you read my album forecast, you know there were a few good ones that came out on Tuesday. Got most of 'em (i had The Felice Brothers ship to where i'll be next week). But today you get a little taste of everything - brand new tracks, old tracks that i just got, and even one new face:

mp3: The Black Crowes - Oh Josephine
~ buy Warpaint (2008)
i've always liked The Black Crowes, but never been a huge fan. I really like Warpaint after the first couple listens. There's some classic Crowes bluesy sounds on it (Jospehine, Walk Believer Walk, Wounded Bird), but also, there's a new, more acoustic/folk feel on some tracks (Locust Street, There's Gold In Them Hills, Whoa Mule). Check it out.

mp3: Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová - You Ain't Goin' Nowhere (Bob Dylan)
~ buy I'm Not There (Soundtrack) (2007)
Haven't seen their movie, Once, yet, but i'm impressed with this duo. Original, inventive sounds. Their cover of one of my favortite Dylan tunes is really well done. You can find their Oscar-winning original song Falling Slowly just about everywhere.

mp3: Jayber Crow - Eugene, Oregon (Manifest Destiny)
~ buy The Farmer and the Nomad [EP]
There was considerable interest in the first Jayber Crow song i posted, so i found some more. This song has a cool battle-march feel to it.

mp3: Patty Griffin - Chief
~ buy 1000 Kisses (2005)
i saw the video for this song a couple years ago, but i just bought 1000 Kisses the other day. i don't think Patty Griffin puts out anything that isn't stellar.

mp3: Nizlopi - Start Beginning
~ buy Make It Happen (2008)
Nizlopi is an acoustic duo (Luke Concannon and John Parker) from the UK. Haven't heard a lot of their stuff, and some of it may be just a little too Hip-Hop for my taste (beat-boxing and electronics), but the big stand-up bass keeps it just folky enough for me.

enjoy responsibly....
