What are you listening to?
 

I'm looking to download some new music. Any recommendations on any albums i should check out? Looking for Acoustic Singer-Songwriter stuff. New stuff or really old stuff... doesn't matter. What are some of your all time favorites?

I just discovered Dawes a few days ago. I really like what I'm hearing... Traces of early Neil Young, CSN, Jackson Browne, the Wallflowers and the Jayhawks.

1) The Civil Wars, Barton Hollow
2) Martin Tallstrom
3) Paul Simon, Live in New York City
4) Howard Emerson, It Ain't Necessarily So
5) Diana Krall, Glad Rag Doll
6) Paul McCartney, Kisses on the Bottom

My most recent download is Frank Zappa - Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar. It's absolutely fantastic from start to finish and I have been listening to it rather a lot.

I've been using The Soft Boys - Underwater Moonlight as music for my daily exercise routine for the last few weeks so that fabulous album has been getting a fair bit of work too.

The process of converting 4 sides of vinyl to mp3 has mean that Spirit of 76 by Spirit has been getting some overdue playtime.

Finally, I've been revisiting Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold as Love and have rediscovered One Rainy Wish. Over and over and over again....

If you're looking for singer songwriter then I would recommend that you check out Robyn Hitchcock (of the Soft Boys). His work is mandatory!

He's not all acoustic, but... I've really grown to love Jack Whites style lately. He just writes really good music, and a lot of it is acoustic. Hotel Yorba, We're Going To Be Friends, Love Interruption and Carolina Drama is a few of the acoustic ones that really sticks out for me, as well as the song Blunderbuss. He has also recorded some great covers like Sitting On Top Of The World and You Know That I Know.

Two acoustic songs, a small fistfight and an interview can be found here:
