The Wreckers & More, At a Glance
Here’s a glance at some new albums I had the chance to listen to this week. The Wreckers, Stand Still, Look Pretty I have to admit, Michelle Branch has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. She’s gone off and started a group with her former backup singer, Jessica Harp. They’ve taken a more Country […]
Beirut – “Gulag Orkestar”
Here in the Land ‘O Twang, we like to keep our roots in guitar-driven tunes, however, today I propose that we expand our current understanding of the term ‘twang’ to include ukulele-centered music as well.  Allow me to introduce you to the band Beirut.  Here’s their song “Postcards From Italy” which is currently tearing up the blogs: [audio:http://www.beirutband.com/mp3/Beruit_Postcards%20From%20Italy.mp3] Led […]
Joshua Radin “We Were Here”
Let me begin by saying that the first thing that came to mind when I listened to this album was that this had to be something Wes Anderson would listen to. It made me want to go home and watch The Royal Tenenbaums. I originally heard about Josh Radin through Zach Braff (of Garden State fame). […]

He could be the only practicing musician to pull this off effectively with the exception of Bob Dylan who owes some stylistic credit to Seeger as well. After reading a few mixed reviews of this album I was concerned. Seems that some folks […]
Best of Winter 2006, a Playlist
The bar has been set high! I’m astounded by the number of great albums that have already surfaced this year. Will Hoge shunned traditional record promotions by leaning heavily on juggernauts MySpace and Purevolume all the way to offering up a free download from the album once every week. Josh Rouse travelled to Spain offering […]
Tom’s Pick of the Week, Josh Ritter
The Animal Years has been highly anticipated for some time now. You’ll find this album reminiscent of the folkier side of Bruce Springsteen and more recently Ryan Adams but with better vocals, at least in my opinion. So far this year, this is the best Folk album I’ve listened to. A full album stream is […]
The Dylan/Cash Sessions
Two unbelievable artists working together is always a good thing. People finding that work after a number of years and making it available on the Internet is even better. Here are Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash performing “Ring of Fire.” [audio:http://www.ezarchive.com/satisfied75/AlbumSpace/6Q5XOQVM0P/10+-+Track10.mp3] If you want more (as you doubtlessly will), head over here, to An Aquarium […]
