Sorry if i don't remember names who I dld'ed from, but thanks all the same. From what I have had time to hear:
Broken Family Band - This is great. It was my first download, but I forgot to throw in my 2 pence. It's another addition to this general genre of music that agrees with me perhaps most. I'm not sure what you'd call it other than goodness.
Billy Nayer Show - So I got this on the premise of the Ceres song I liked from an earlier thread theme. Too experimental for this tiny brain that has little time to focus on experimentalism, theatrics, conceptual stuff between all the reading and other stuff I gotta do. I'm sure its of particular liking and probably something I'd like if I had the time to sit and hear what's going on.
Hank lll - I always thought he had a more country death sound, which I think he does on some songs, but you chose the traditional bits, which I like. The Dude has talent.
Viva Voce - Never heard them, but some songs had some qualities I like.
The Saints - Good rollicking fun. I dig the horns in there.
Betty Davis - WHAT A FIND! I know you had upped before, but I never got around to it.
Desmond Dekker - Its aces. I assume he had a huge influence on Jimmy Cliff.
Guy Clark - I like it, but I think live he's better, but that's how I first heard'em, some friends recording or other.
Marah - Shitdamn shoulda been listening to them by now. Glad I finally got to it.
Jerry Jerry - There's some good tunes, rollicking in that selection.
Gene Clark - I have been on the hunt for Gene Clark so now I know why. Good stuff through and through.
Cosmic Rough Riders - I dismissed this on first listen, but kept it around. Now I'm liking it a ton. Its got a fresh Cali feel like a Beechwood Sparks but definitely in their own comfort seat of sound.
The Church - Excellent picks. I have not had a good mix since way back then cassettes, so this will serve nicely. The wife will dig as well even though she was a young'un back then(way more advanced than me).
Morphine - Another reminder of what I used to listen to but gave up on. I don't why I do that. Lesson learned today.
Wimple Winch - I definitely like 60%(this format really makes percentages translatable), but others will need more time. It's rarity encourages me to hang onto it.
Sparklehorse 1&2 - Easy to see how hard it is to choose 10 great songs from the ouevre as 2 sets were chosen by accident and without overlap in choices. Great picks that satisfy my curiosity with this band. I figure sometimes if you ignore a band that always seemed interesting but never quite pushed you enough to grab it, eventually that band will find you. Like this one.
Paul Kelly - Been listening for a bit and man, he writes good songs.
Lucero - Its growing on me. I think I prefer Marah so far(if one could compare). But, one thing I like is that it makes Ryan Adams look like the pissant he is, though I'll admit to still digging that pissant's music at times.
New Pornogs - I stopped at Elec. Vers. Good selections from the others. Its a keeper for good ol' yawping when the house is empty.
Beulah -I caught me up on some tracks I had lost. Thanks FT. Always a fan, of yours as well.
Mark Lanegan - This'll have to steep. See, I's been off the hard stuff and smoking for a bits now, and does nothing but give a hankering for that there brown liquor that's most savory in the dark of night in quietude and solemn weather.
that's all for now
