I’ve been addicted to Andy Whittle’s music for a couple months now, thanks to the enlightened opinion of my fellow Ray LaMontagne messenger and blog contributor : Martin.
I’ve bought both of Andy Whittle’s albums this summer and his songs are still looping in my tunes library. His music has already become part of my collection of old classics such as ‘Recent songs’ from L. Cohen.
His two singles - ‘Old Fashioned Dream’ in 2006 and ‘A Songmaker’s Tale’ in may 2007 - revealed a complete artist with a mature songwriting capability (25 years old) and a multi-instrumental player. Andy was originally trained in classical music, a career as a concert pianist beckoned in his teens until his piano teacher forbade him from playing his own compositions…
I invite you to check Andy’s label, Folkwit record for great English folk artists . Sign their mailing list by clicking the following link - they will also give you the chance to receive a free sampler album : subscribe@folkwit.biz ! Enjoy.
From Tennessee, The Everybodyfields are fronted by Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews who together make some of the finest country/folk music around today. Their voices together shouldn’t create the beautiful melodies they make but they work like magic. Sams echoing twang, Jills pure soothing voice, together with their amazing musicianship make you immediately sit up and listen. Anyway, their own Official Page will tell you and describe to you what they are like a lot better than i can, or of course listen on their MySpace Page They have supported Gillian Welch in the past and have toured a lot with their Label mates ‘the Avett brothers’.
I have added two songs for your listening pleasure, the first one “Magazines” is from their album ‘Plague of Dreams’ and the second track “Aeroplane” is from their latest Album ‘Nothing is Okay’.
A massive thanks to Nick from the Ray Lamontagne fan site for supplying me with the samples and the for putting me onto these guys. If you enjoy please Buy the albums from your local Record store or direct from the Artists website. Enjoy.

Pedestrian will be playing tonight at The Hotel Cafe. If you live in the area you should check them out. For those of you who don’t know Joel Shearer is the guitarist for Damien Rice. He is currently touring with him but he also does vocals/guitar for his own band, Pedestrian. I don’t have any MP3 to post but you can take a listen some songs on his myspace page or take a listen to his entire new album on his official page.
I know everyone is always talking, writing, blogging about Damien Rice but I have to say a little something. I went to see him perform last night at the Greek Theater it is such an amazing venue. I loved the fact that he didn’t stick to is usual I want to cut my wrist open until I bleed to death line up, although when he started signing “Accidental Babies” I did turn over to Susana and ask her for a razor. He didn’t finish the song, thankfully for me, my eyes were already starting to well up. He did however sing several songs that were not on any of his released albums. It’s always refreshing to hear new old stuff, if you know what I mean. He sang this beautiful song called “Insane” which I’ve only heard him sing once on KCRW. I’m attaching here for your listening pleasure.
Vyvienne Long, Damien’s cellist played her song “Never Leave You” it was much funnier live, a little unexpected take a listen here.
Overall a fantastic night.
Slower version of Insane on Youtube
Lyrics: Insane
Should I speak?
Should I bother shaking hands?
Am I weak If I leave it as it stands?
I’ve submerged
And I’ve surfaced with the blame
I guess I’m no good
I guess I’m insane
Should I go
If she calls out my name?
And if she bleeds
Should I wipe up the stain?
And if I’m low
Can I drown in this rain?
I guess I’m no good
I guess I’m insane
And I hate when you say
That I never fight for you
Sometimes you breathe
All over my skin
And you always end up
Closer than close
That’s where I give in
Should I confess
The actions of my hand
In my mind
I’ll betray you once again
Why should I climb?
What is there to gain?
This is no good
This is insane
And I hate when you say
That I never fight for you
Sometimes you breathe
All over my skin
And you always end up
Closer than close
That’s whenre I give in
You’re taking
You’re taking
You’re taking me down
You’re taking
You’re taking
You’re taking me down
And you always end up
Closer than close
That’s where I give in
That’s where I give in
That’s where I give in
I’ve blogged about Jeffrey a few weeks ago (see post here) but I got to finally see him perform for the first time last night at Schubas in Chicago. Amazing amazing show…I can not stress enough that this guy is a MUST SEE if he comes through your town.
These Texas natives first grabbed me when my best friend played me “Telescope Eyes” a couple years back…one of those infectious pop-rock songs we just loved to drive around a sing-a-long to. Saw them at the Double Door in Chicago a few years ago and I was quite impressed.
Eisley is composed of siblings Sherri, Stacy, Chauntelle and Weston Dupree and their cousin, Garron Dupree. Their new album “Combinations” was release last month.
I’m really liking their new song called “Invasion”
New Album Alert!
Band of Horses was my surprise find of 2006. Their debut album Everything All the Time was on heavy rotation in my CD player. For those who don’t know me, I spend a lot of time in my car. If I didn’t have my iPod and CD player in my car, I would go insane. Having said that, when I say “heavy rotation” it means I’m listening to an album over and over again for hours at a time.
I think I was the only one in my group of friends that really took a liking to Band of Horses. It’s then when I realized that I was marching to the beat of my own drum. I had always relied on my friends recommendations for music until the summer of 2006. I’m excited for the release of their upcoming album Cease to Begin. Many changes have taken place amongst the band and it’s members but from the sound of Is There a Ghost those changes have not affected the music.
If you’ve never heard of Band of Horses before, you can download two songs from their previous album below and one from their upcoming. Cease to Begin is set to release later this year. That should give some of you plenty of time to fall in love with them as I have.
