CD Recommendations

[magnoliamountain]

I thought I'd start the new CD Recommendations thread!!

I have lots of things to recommend, but at the moment I have to say the CD that's really got me hooked is "Down in Albion" by Babyshambles, it's not exactly new but I still love to give it a listen now and then!



see ya,

I'm listening to The Fleet Foxes at the moment. I love their albums "Fleet Foxes" and "Sun".

[ChrisLeeds]

Im listening to Lightspeed Champion album at the moment, im lovin it :)

[malene]

I'm listening to The Fleet Foxes at the moment. I love their albums "Fleet Foxes" and "Sun".

Oh yes, I love Fleet Foxes! I think the self-titled one is probably my album of the year so far. And they're excellent live too.

[degausser]

I'm listening to Twentythree and Hello... by Tristan Prettyman at the moment. Saw her a couple of weeks back, phenomenal musician and wonderful person as well. She has been awesome to me. I wrote her an email about how Breathe helped me through some rough times and she sent me two emails and played that song to open her set. Highly recommend her music.

[Sinainn]

Oh yes, I love Fleet Foxes! I think the self-titled one is probably my album of the year so far. And they're excellent live too.

I'm actually really hoping they'll come to Holland to play a gig, but so far no success :(

Another band I'd like to recommend is Milburn. They only released to albums before splitting up in May this year.

[StracyCat]

Townes Van Zandt - Delta Momma Blues. I think alot of ryan fans would like this album.

[Sinainn]

I forgot to add:

Jack Johnson: Sleep Through the Static.

[malene]

Townes Van Zandt - Delta Momma Blues. I think alot of ryan fans would like this album.

Townes was such an amazing artist. Our Mother the Mountain and the self-titled album are also great.

[Ellen]

I'm actually really hoping they'll come to Holland to play a gig, but so far no success :(

Are you sure about that? They play Brussels november 22th, it would really suprise me if they skipped Holland.

I really hope I can go, I love them. I've been playing their album over and over.

[Sinainn]

Are you sure about that? They play Brussels november 22th, it would really suprise me if they skipped Holland.

I didn't know about the Brussels gig! Oh wow... checked their MySpace and they're coming to The Hague of the 21st of November!! :eek: Tickets not available (yet), but as soon as they are, I'm gonna buy me one!! Yay :D

[StracyCat]

Townes was such an amazing artist. Our Mother the Mountain and the self-titled album are also great.

Yeah, truly amazing. I love live at the old quarter as well, amazing album. His musics just so sad. I just bought the dvd be here to love me offa amazon, cant till it gets here. Dyin to see it.

Any Love fans here? Arthur lee?

[degausser]

Another recommendation I HAVE to make is Gaslight Anthem. Take Bruce Springsteen and put him with an almost punk band and that is what you'd get. One thing of note is that one of there songs has lyrics from Round Here by Counting Crowes. (I know some of you like them). Def. worth checking out.

[starawley]

The Whigs are so awesome and The Format ... buy the CDs reall you should

[pablo]

Tina Dico - In The Red

[degausser]

I know, I know I keep recommending bands, but I wouldn't feel right not recommending Brand New (especially Deja Entendu and The Devil and God Are Raging Inside of Me).

[Ellen]

I'm really liking Dr. Dog right now. Despite their stupid name, their music is actually good and catchy. And not hiphopish at all.

[StracyCat]

Any Neil Young fans here? I just got a ticket so see him in jan, im so fukin excited! Never seen him before.

[Sinainn]

Neil Young is very good. Especially his 70's stuff - "Harvest" is a gorgeous album.
Enjoy the concert!

[StracyCat]

Cheers. I love the stuff he does/did with crazyhorse - Zuma, Everybody knows.... Ryan and the cardinals kinda remind me of Neil Young with Crazy Horse, although ryan and the cards definately have their own cardinal sound, its just in the dynamic i see the similarities.

[earbleedingcountry]

hey i have a few recomendations to go in here , you should try redlands palomino company - by the time you hear this i will be gone . they are a uk outfit and sound like a rough round the edges whiskeytown . also peter bruntnell - peter and the murder of crows people say he is from the states but he is actually from the uk and one of our hidden secrets . also i have the leaked castanets new album city of refuge it totally rocks

[sunnnny]

Band of Horses - cease to begin.
I can't stop listening to it. i love love love it.

[momo_adachi]

Rachael Yamagata's newest release is really really wonderful.

[Sinainn]

Band of Horses - cease to begin.
I can't stop listening to it. i love love love it.

Ah yes, love this album too. The lead singer's got a wonderful voice.
I'm also loving "Smell the Mitten" by The Hot Toddies. Pretty funny record.

[degausser]

Just got into Kings of Leon, Frakin awesome band. I only have Because of the Times and Only By the Night, but damn they are impressive.

[Ellen]

Band of Horses - cease to begin.
I can't stop listening to it. i love love love it.

Me too! I love it very much, though I love Everything All The Time just a bit more. They are so good.

My recommendation: Frightened Rabbit - The Midnight Organ Fight. It's one of the better albums of 2008 for me.

[malene]

I've been fairly obsessed with Shearwater lately, they're just incredible. Their latest album Rook is fantastic and their previous one Palo Santo is possibly even better.

[PixieDust]

Manchester Orchestra - 5 Stories
I think it came out in 2004 or something, but it's new to me and I just love it!

Love Manchester Orchestra....They opened for Kevin Devine and Brand New...Best concert I've ever been to. Everybody from every band was on stage during each of the sets. They had five sets of drums, and about fourteen guitars going at once for the finale!!!

One hell of a show in other words, would've loved to have been there!


Here's another recommendation: Dustin Kensrue, just beautiful music! Def worth checking out.

[Katjah]

Rachael Yamagata's newest release is really really wonderful.
I agree! How's the latest from Lucinda Williams..? Anyone?

[momo_adachi]

It's totally lovely. Definitely worth picking up. That woman never stops - she's amazing.

[Ellen]

Also, the new TV On The Radio is getting better every time I listen. Probably album of the year.

[silver bullets]

Dustin is the greatest.

Anyone been listening to Jesse Sykes? pretty cool... Phil Wandscherererer (from Whiskeytown) is in her band

[Dan]

The Felice Bros allbum, called The Felice Bros, one of my records of the year so far.....

[Katjah]

At the moment I am so in love with Emiliana Torrinis "Jungle drum"!! So cool!

[momo_adachi]

Jesse Sykes is great - really unique sound.

[malene]

I've been listening a lot to a Norwegian artist named moddi lately. Sometimes he sounds a bit like Damien Rice, sometimes like Sigur Ros. http://www.myspace.com/moddimusikk (http://www.myspace.com/moddimusikk)

[degausser]

Do yourselves a favor and check out City and Colour. Probably some of the best music I've heard in a long while. Definitely along the lines of Ryan Adams solo stuff, especially like Heartbreaker and maybe even Suicide Handbook. Beautifully written songs that are acoustic.

[whiskeytown 2]

i would suggest Ryan Bingham, "Mescalito", Justin Townes Earle, "The Good Life", Alejandro Escavado, "Real Animal", Bob Schneider, "Songs Sung with People in the Room (Live at the Cactus Cafe) and "When The Sun Breaks Down On The Moon"..these are just a couple of great cd that just came out...

[degausser]

Kristofer Astrom and Hidden Truck-----everything I've heard from them so far is amazing....especially RainawayTown.

Just getting into Cursive.......crazygood.......definitely not for everybody, but damn! Especially "The Recluse". So, so good.

[Sittin Around]

josh ritter - "the historical conquests of..."

[degausser]

Jose Gonzalez.....and......gasp....Bruce Springsteen (omfg, zoinks!)
