The Walking Roots Band : Come Down, O Love Divine
Uncle Tupelo : Looking For A Way Out
I made this slide show to one of my (many) favorite Uncle Tupelo songs (from Still Feel Gone) a few years back. It’s not prefect by any means but I wanted to capture the feeling of living in small towns (in Texas in this case) and ‘looking for a way out’. Whether or not that is always the right way forward or not I am not too sure about, but I guess a lot of people can relate to that urge, I certainly can or rather could when I was younger.
Harlem Street Singer : The Guitar Gospel Of Reverend Gary Davis
A must-see for me.
Corb Lund & The Hurtin’ Albertans : Long Gone To Saskatchewan
One of my favorite Canadian artists (not surprising with a name of his band like this), name-checking two of my other favorite Canadian musicians, Tim Hus and Stompin’ Tom Connors. No wonder I love this.
David Mallett : Girl From The North Country
Dylan’s classic gets a lovely reworking on this version by David Mallett, the video’s lovely too.
G. Love : Back To Boston
The last time I heard of Mr. Garrett Dutton aka G. Love was way back in the 90’s – and now I stumbled upon one of his Acoustic Guitar Magazine sessions.
He sure knows how to treat a guitar. Smashing.
Peter Mayer : Awake
To celebrate the arrival of my first Peter Mayer CD (Million Year Mind) in the mail earlier today,
here’s a live version of his song Awake (not on that CD). It’s a fine, lovely and thoughtful song with some mighty fine guitar work.
Gordon Lightfoot : Sit Down Young Stranger
Folk music. The best.
The Weakerthans : One Great City
An old fave of mine, from the Weakerthans’ album Reconstruction Site, the only album by them I know and own. Never got around to exploring their output more thoroughly although it would most probably be worth it.
