Nathaniel Rateliff & The Wheel – On Tour !

Published by Olivier on September 13, 2009 in Acoustic, Folk, Indie, On Tour, Rock, Singer Songwriter and video. 2 Comments

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Wheel

Another great artist, I ‘ve almost kept for myself all this summer long is Nathaniel Rateliff & The Wheel.

Combining the endearing swagger of Jacques Brel, the moody mysticism of Leonard Cohen and the pastoral plucking of Nick Drake, Rateliff’s potent songs and rich voice grabbed the audience by the heart and the throat.

Any other arguments ? Well, Nick Drake, Nick Drake… Anyway, I completely agree with the Jacques Brel’s parallel, and I guess most of our fellow Belgian readers will, as soon as they click the play button on this below youtube video !

I’ve been totally bewitched by this awesome song and performance… and I guess a minute after I was downloaded The Wheel first and single full length “Desire and Dissolving Men” released in 2007…
And for a mere 7 $, it’s one of the best album i’ve bought this year.

Brown and Blue – New Colby Stead Project

Published by smansmith on August 3, 2009 in Folk, Live Performance, Singer Songwriter and video. 1 Comment

Introduced to me from fellow blogger Olivier and then reminded by Trini, Colby Stead has a new recording project that is in its preliminary stages, but promises to grow beautifully. If the below description on the website says anything, it is the overall essence of what they are creating:

Brown & Blue, earth and sky. Different, but a duo nonetheless.

One, floating above, colliding with clouds, trying not to fall. The other holding still, deeply rooted, reaching high.

A combination of color, a mixture of moods, meet harmoniously in the middle. A sunset, a storm. Fleeting:

The music of Brown & Blue.

Visit them at Brown and Blue (.org) for a more music and video performances, bio and soon to be tour info.

Another great video from Scott Cudmore, this time from the man they call Phosphorescent and an informal SXSW performance of “Heaven Sitting Down”. Despite the plane circling overhead, another beauty.

Who is this “Jenny O.” and where do I get more?

Published by smansmith on June 14, 2009 in Acoustic, Folk, Indie, Singer Songwriter and video. 0 Comments

Very nice find while perusing the “now only legit for music” site, MySpace. She is a former East Coaster now living in the sun of Los Angeles. New album is finished and should be out soon, but I am unsure how to purchase unless a link shows up on one of her online pages… I guess I will have to keep an eye on her MySpace Page or follow her twitter for updates (@jennyomusic). I did find her on iLike and listened a bit more (click here), but alas no tracks for purchase.

I will update as info comes available folks – anyone has info, post in the comments!

Ghost Bees hit Camera Music!

I just posted another Camera Music feature over on Slowcoustic, and I can’t leave You Crazy Dreamers with no love!! I am a huge fan of the video series of Scott Cudmore’s Camera Music and above you find a true Canadian acoustic Ghost Bees performance. Stunning – you have to watch the Halifax twins travel through the cold wilderness with pixie delicate strumming. There is multiple tracks in the above video so make sure you keep watching!

Fraser Anderson – Waterfall

Published by Olivier on May 26, 2009 in Acoustic, Folk, Singer Songwriter and video. 3 Comments

Waterfall is another stunning song from Fraser Anderson, beautifully delivered this last summer when supporting Chuck Berry at Sète. Along with Rag and Bones, Photograph Too Hi and Grace, these five tracks preview are already placing his forthcoming third full length album, planned to be release this Autumn, amongst my 2009 favorite.
