Beware: Bonnie Prince Billy
1 recommendation
"A few loyal friends have been trying to get me into Bonnie Prince Billy for a while now, I broke with the release of Beware and it was one of the better break downs I've ever had. This is a great album"
Magnolia Electric Co.: Songs: Ohia
1 recommendation
"Stumbling onto this album unburied a tragedy. You see, I only own this album on vinyl. It use to be one of my favorites. However, when I moved, I didn't bring my vinyl collection with me and I miss it dearly. Since the sound of the band is almost always evolving. It's hard to truly define the group. However, think lo-fi, indie rock and alt country. If that sound like you, you'll get behind this..."
Sky Blue Sky: Wilco
1 recommendation
"I've been a long time of Jeff Tweedy and Wilco, in general. When their most recent album came out I was skeptical to say the least. However, I was quickly caught up in the new sound. The highlights come with "Hate it Here" and "Walken.""
Animal Years: Josh Ritter
1 recommendation
"Be it a bit cliche, Josh Ritter (mainly this album) is a fun listen. The entire thing is completely listenable. The highlight definately comes on track four with "Good Man.""
Cardinology: Ryan Adams & the Cardinals
1 recommendation
"I'll be honest, this ones not exactly going to change your life. However, it's pretty much status quo Ryan Adams. Everything sounds good, it's just not as great as some of his other stuff. But the avid fans will thoroughly enjoy."
Kicking Television: Live in Chicago: Wilco
1 recommendation
"Such a great band, one of the greatest alt.country bands around, and a great unique voice. This live album is terrific, full of great songs and terrific energy. I can only hope to see them live and see for myself if they're as great in person as they are committed to tape in their home town."
Mermaid Avenue Vol. II: Billy Bragg & Wilco
1 recommendation
"A second helping of unrecorded Guthrie tunes, turned in by some of the greatest musicians of our time. While it's not as strong of an album as the original, which makes sense, as they would have sued the best material first, it's still a strong album with some really great tunes."
The Tigers Have Spoken: Neko Case
1 recommendation
"Live music can be really hit or miss. Sometimes you can capture the energy of a performance, and sometimes it sounds like a bad copy of the band's studio release. Thankfully, this album falls into the category of the former. If you like good alt.contry performed in the cozy bar of your choice, then you'll like this album."
Planet Earth Tipton Flannel Button-Down Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's
1 recommendation
"People sometimes call me Paul Bunyan, and that sometimes hurts my feelings (OK, not really, but kind of). And I think I know why the do. It's the flannel. I know grunge ended more than a decade ago, but flannel is cool and comfortable, man. And I like wearing it. I hear it's making a resurgence in the hipster market, but don't fret. Soon as it becomes "popular" they'll stop wearing it. Anyway, buy..."

"Another wonderful album by Ms. Neko. "Deep Red Bells," a song from this album, documents Case's reflections on the Green River Killer who claimed the lives of almost fifty women and was in the midst of his killing spree when Case was a teenager living around Seattle, Washington where the murders were taking place. It's a beautiful, albeit haunting, song."
Cold Roses : Ryan Adams & the Cardinals
5 recommendations
"I have a long-standing love for Ryan Adams during the Whiskeytown years. He wrote songs brimming with Westerberg-ian talent, music that country fans thought wasn't going to come around again. The solo years post-"Heartbreaker" weren't as kind, and my love of Adams waned significantly...until this album. It could probably have been pared down to a single disc, but "Let It Ride," "If I Am a Stranger..."
Fox Confessor Brings the Flood : Neko Case
8 recommendations
"Neko has been a personal favorite for a long time. Her voice is heartbreaking and beautiful--plus she is probably the most talented female songwriter currently working, penning lines like "Bravery is mistaken for the thrashing in the lake / of the make-believe monster whose picture was faked.""
Gram Parsons - Fallen Angel
1 recommendation
"Gram Parsons was such a huge influence on so many artists (Ryan Adams for one and my beloved Keef (they became fast friends)) If you are not familiar with this amazing artist who died too soon, you should be. Here is the description of this video from Amazon, it says it all: "This definitive biography chronicles a Southern Gothic saga and is a fascinating look at "the Grievous Angel" and the he..."
The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter
1 recommendation
"Lets be honest here, this album has nothing on Animal Years. However, it's fun at times and certainly worth owning."
No Depression: Uncle Tupelo
1 recommendation
"A remastered version of one of my favorite groups. The members of Son Volt and Wilco back when they were just good ol' river boys from southern Illinois."
Bonnie 'Prince' Billy and The Cairo Gang: The Wonder Show of the World PRE-ORDER: LP
