Johnny Cash & Bob Dylan - Nashville Sessions 1969
JOHNNY CASH:
"Another unpleasant experience for Bob and me both was when the tape of the sessions he and I did together got out and was bootlegged all over Europe.
We did 16 or 17 songs, but we were just in there having fun. It was like what they call the Million Dollar Quartet, when I was singing with Elvis and Carl [Perkins] and Jerry Lee [Lewis].
The songs had no starting place and no stopping; we'd get into them and everyone would join in.
Bob and I did "Careless Love," whatever we might know the words to.... There's a song or two that's good enough to put out, but there's not an album there..."

Alejandro Escovedo - A Man Under the Influence (2001)
Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Ripe with the enigmas of loss, love, and connections across great distances, Alejandro Escovedo's sixth solo album realizes the promise of his remarkable gifts as singer, songwriter, and arranger. On spiraling tiers of pedal steel, cellos, violins, and electric and acoustic guitars, his chamber-rock vision comes to full fruition. He's never made freer garage pop than "Castanets," never stirred a more sweeping lyricism than in "Don't Need You," and never laid bare more soul than in the heartbreaking "Follow You Down" (a ballad Escovedo often dedicates to Townes Van Zandt). Even more amazing are the pairing of "Wave" and "Rosalie," subtle dramas of the Mexican-American passage through separation and faith, and the swirling, aching "About This Love," which concludes "It's all about the way/We break, to love again." Escovedo has always sought a poetic fusing of sound and image; with A Man Under the Influence, that search is complete.
Produced by Chris Stamey (former dB's) and performed by many of Alejandro's band of usual suspects, it also features the contributions of Eric Heywood (Richard Buckner, Freakwater),Mitch Easter, members of Superchunk, Ryan Adams, Chip Robinson (The Backsliders), Caitlin Cary (Whiskeytown) and more. The album's first two tracks inspired Alejandro to write the play 'By The Hand Of The Father', which has already premiered in L.A. and was be performed at SXSW 2001.

John Doe and The Sadies - Country Club (2009)
Release Date: April 14, 2009 | mp3 VBR~180kpbs | 56MB
As one of the founding members of the Los Angeles punk band X, John Doe was one of the most influential figures in American alternative rock during the early '80s, but when he launched a solo career in the early '90s, he decided to pursue a rootsy, country-rock direction instead of continuing with punk.
| Quote: | | Plenty of rock singers have tried to honor the sound and traditions of period honky tonk music over the years, but you'd be hard-pressed to find one who sounds as ineffably right singing this stuff as John Doe, and Country Club is a casual, no-frills masterpiece. <AMG> |

The Felice Brothers - Yonder Is The Clock (2009)
Release Date: April 7, 2009 | mp3 VBR~190kpbs | 68MB
The Felice Brothers come to us from the Catskill Mountains where a homegrown sound has been working its way through the bloodlines for generations. Titled with a phrase drawn from the pages of Mark Twain, "Yonder Is The Clock" is teeming with tales of love, death, betrayal, baseball, train stations, phantoms, pandemics, jail cells, rolling rivers, and frozen winter nights. This is music that hasn't lost sight of the history of the land from which it came, and that quality alone makes The Felice Brothers the next great American band.
The Felice Brothers (Simone, Ian, and James) and their long time friends and bandmates Greg Farley and Christmas Clapton, come to us from the Catskill Mountains, where a homegrown sound has been working its way through the bloodlines for generations. Their rambling journey so far has brought them from busking in New York City subway stations, to tours across the world that have included enthusiastically received performances at major music festivals including Bonnaroo, All Points West, Outside Lands, and Langerado.
A defining memory to date might be their appearance at the 2008 Newport Folk Festival. A summer afternoon thunderstorm rolled in and began to douse the land. While it electrified the atmosphere, the rain had the adverse effect of cutting power to The Felice Brother’s stage. After many assurances that power would be restored, they were informed it was a lost cause, and that they’d have to make due acoustic. Without hesitation the band jumped down into the crowd and began playing acoustic while stomping around barefoot in the mud that had formed on account of the ongoing downpour. What might have led some to call it a wash and leave was turned into another epic show that drew upon the familiarity and casual ease of the backyard bbq sessions that took place at their dad’s porch on Sunday afternoons during their first days as a group. The audience that day, like others before and after, left utterly converted.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (OST) [2007 - Deluxe Edition]
mp3 256kpbs | 153Mb | 83:02 min. | Film Music, Traditional Country, Rock & Roll, Comedy Rock
| Quote: | | It goes without saying that a music movie lives or dies by its music, but it's particularly true with pop music parodies. If the music doesn't hit the right notes -- if it doesn't feel like the period it's meant to evoke, if the humor is either too broad or dry -- the movie crumbles around it, to say nothing of the soundtrack, which will be hard-pressed to stand on its own as an album. The gold standard for rock comedies is This Is Spinal Tap, as the music felt authentic, and Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer, and Michael McKean proved that lightning could strike twice with their folk music saga A Mighty Wind. The soundtrack to the John C. Reilly-starring Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story belongs in such rarefied company. Like Spinal Tap, Walk Hard sets the bar high by attempting to create many sounds from the past, but where the Tap pretty much confined themselves to a bit of Merseybeat and psychedelia before settling into a metallic groove, the whole point of Walk Hard is to trace Reilly's Cox character -- based chiefly on Johnny Cash -- through the ins and outs of the '50s, '60s, and '70s, so there are more sounds here and thereby more pitfalls, all of which the music-makers miraculously manage to avoid. This is especially remarkable because the 15 songs on Walk Hard evoke many different artists: there is naturally Johnny Cash on the title track, the mariachi-flared "Guilty as Charged," and the cheerfully vulgar Johnny and June take-off "Let's Duet," but there are also two takes on Elvis ("[Mama] You Got to Love Your Negro Man," "[I Hate You] Big Daddy"), three on Dylan, Roy Orbison on the grandly melodramatic "A Life Without You (Is No Life at All)," and the Everly Brothers-styled "Darling," but this also leaves old-time rock & roll behind with the Beach Boys psych-pop pastiche "Black Sheep" and, bizarrely, a disco spin on David Bowie's "Starman." That's a lot of ground to cover, but the songs work as music while still being funny. Sometimes, the jokes are big and obvious -- the double entendres on "Let's Duet" are hardly subtle -- but sometimes the humor is a bit sly, as on "Royal Jelly," which nails Dylan's stream-of-conscious romantic writing. Of course, that song wouldn't work if it weren't for John C. Reilly's delivery; he mimics the particulars of Dylan's cadence with the grace of Cate Blanchett, and his fine ear for detail is evident throughout this soundtrack, as he negotiates the twists and turns of the music with ease. Such a performance would be admirable if the songs weren't good, but since they're very fine, his singing helps turn Walk Hard into that rarest of things: a parody album that's almost as addictive as the real deal. <AMG> |

Mr. David Viner - Mr. David Viner (2003)
mp3 256kpbs | 80MB | 38:26 min.
| Quote: | | British acoustic bluesman Mr. David Viner was discovered by the Von Bondies when he worked on their U.K. tour with the Kills. Originally hired to sell the Von Bondies' merchandise, Viner began playing his songs for the group members, who were so impressed that they had him play opening sets for the second half of the tour. A similar thing happened when he sold merchandise on the Soledad Brothers' U.K. tour -- on the second half of the tour, he played second guitar with them. The Von Bondies' Jason Stollsteimer signed Viner to his label, In the Act, and brought him to Detroit to record his self-titled debut album. Along with Stollsteimer, the Von Bondies' Carrie Smith and members of the Kills, Soledad Brothers, and Pearlene assisted in recording Mr. David Viner, which was co-released by Dim Mak and In the Act in summer 2003. <AMG> |

Mr. David Viner - Among The Rumours and The Rye (2008)
Modern Acoustic Blues, Folk | mp3 VBR~180kpbs | 49MB | 41:35 min.
| Quote: | | A great collection of Ed Harcourt-produced troubadour antics from the very formal Mr. David Viner, whose writing is on fine form here, with beautiful songs like 'Go Home' and 'Lavender' somehow taking fingerpicked, acoustic guitar-based music into a territory you couldn't reasonably brand as folk. He's an immensely likable singer-songwriter, one who doesn't excessively exude seriousness, although one whose work nevertheless commands your attention. Although several tracks seem to accumulate strings, banjo and horns, you're none the worse off for hearing Viner at his most raw and uncovered: the title track is an utterly bare-boned Bert Jansch-style acoustic number, and although elsewhere you'll find good use of those more audacious arrangements, the performance on 'Among The Rumours And The Rye' is mesmerisingly brilliant. Viner's lyrics are completely engrossing and the guitar is played beautifully - two of the more essential attributes of any singer songwriter, though two of the hardest to pin down. |

Allman Brothers Band - Idlewild South (1970)
WavPack + cue + log | 210 MB | 30:38 min | Scans Included
| Quote: | | Idlewild South is the second album of The Allman Brothers Band, released in 1970. The best studio album in the group's history, electric blues with an acoustic texture, virtuoso lead, slide, and organ playing, and a killer selection of songs, including "Midnight Rider," "Revival," "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'," and "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" in its embryonic studio version, which is pretty impressive even at a mere six minutes and change. They also do the best white cover of Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man" anyone's ever likely to hear. |
1. "Revival" (Dickey Betts) – 4:05
2. "Don't Keep Me Wonderin'" (Gregg Allman) – 3:31
3. "Midnight Rider" (Gregg Allman) – 2:59
4. "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" (Dickey Betts) – 6:56
5. "(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man" (Willie Dixon) – 4:57
6. "Please Call Home" (Gregg Allman) – 4:02

Mofro - Lochloosa (2004)
mp3 320kpbs | 102MB | 46:01 min.
| Quote: | One of the 10 Best Releases Of The Year: Bringing a bit of the Florida swampland to your town, MOFRO's second studio release is nothing less than a perfect groove. Down home, dirty soul. — Rolling Stone
Three years after their celebrated debut, Blackwater, north central Florida's Mofro return with another offering of steamy, greasy "front-porch soul". Lochloosa is a startlingly good, perhaps even great, record by a band that revels in mystery, history, and deliriously infectious grooves. <AMG>
You can almost smell the backwoods swamps of the Sunshine State when you're listening to their dusky blend of Southern rock, blues, and soul. Lochloosa is an unpretentious, moving, and inviting album that settles into a humid groove from the onset and never leaves it behind. — amazon.com |
| Quote: | | MOFRO, comprising Floridians JJ Gray and Daryl Hance, is a strange bird of an outfit -- an unmistakably Southern hybrid that maintains elements of funk, blues, country and Dixie rock. But the duo is also undeniably soulful and quite adept at what it does. Down-home funk track 'That Boy,' like most of the songs here, is driven by a rock-solid bottom and more hooks than a tackle box. Grey's honeyed vocals make 'Fireflies' a soul-drenched delight, while Hance's slide guitar work brings back-porch authenticity to the atmospheric 'Ten Thousand Islands' and gutbucket fare like 'Gal Youngin' and 'Pray for Rain.' Grey's vocals are also mighty fine on the glorious 'The Wrong Side' and bluesy 'Everybody's.' MOFRO waxes Bo Diddley on 'How Junior Got His Head Put Out.' But the real showpiece is the title cut, a pining, sorrowful lament about the overdevelopment of the act's home state. — Billboard |

The Krayolas - La Conquistadora (featuring Augie Meyers) [2008]
mp3 VBR~190kpbs | 54MB | 40:45 min.
| Quote: | The "Tex-Mex Beatles" take it to the national level by modernizing the Doug Sahm Tex-Mex/Blues/Rock sound.
What all the hullabaloo about is the way The Krayolas have melded the Doug Sahm mix of Tex-Mex and blues with their own sensibilities.
At the heart of "La Conquistadora" is Hector Saladana's songwriting, which is also getting a lot of notice.
And of course, there are those wonderful Beatle-like vocal harmonies. <CD> |
| Quote: | | Here you've got top-notch songwriting with the jangling guitars and air-tight harmonies that won the group the "Tex-Mex Beatles" nickname. And there's a major bonus - Augie Meyers, of Doug Sahm's original band, lends his hand on the Vox organ. |
| Quote: | | In their first album in 21 years, the Krayolas sound rather like an updated version of the Sir Douglas Quintet in their combination of Tex-Mex rock and British Invasion influences, though there's more of a power pop tone to their combination. The similarity isn't entirely coincidental; Sir Douglas organist/pianist/accordionist Augie Meyers plays on the record, as well as writing or co-writing three of the tracks. Meyers originally wrote "Little Fox," in fact, for Doug Sahm to sing in the Sir Douglas Quintet back in 1967. Chief lead singer Hector Saldana wrote most of the songs, however, and while some of these are the love scenarios common to the genre, there are more unusual subjects like Father Francisco Geronimo (in the title track), the shock of reading a death notice for an old friend ("Catherine"), and the cruises of a survivor of the early rock & roll era ("Nolan Street Bridge"). There's also sometimes more of a Merseybeat feel than even the Sir Douglas Quintet allowed, particularly in Meyers' "What You Gonna Do for Love" and "We've Got a Secret," though the Spanish-language "Little Fox" is dominated by Meyers' trademark staccato organ style. |

Son Volt - American Central Dust (2009)
Release Date: 7 July 2009 | mp3 VBR~256 | 72MB | 44:04 min.
Americana, Alternative Country-Rock, Folk rock, Alt-country
| Quote: | | After touring in support of their 1993 masterpiece Anodyne, the seminal alternative country band Uncle Tupelo split up over long-simmering creative differences between co-leaders Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy. Tweedy recruited much of the band to form Wilco, while Farrar teamed up with original Tupelo drummer Mike Heidorn to form Son Volt, the more tradition-minded of the two Tupelo offshoots. |
| Quote: | | Son Volt returns with ‘American Central Dust,’ out July 7 on Rounder Records, a plaintive 12-song collection that recalls the melodic succinctness of the band’s debut album ‘Trace.’ After the musical experimentation of 2007’s ‘The Search, ’ ‘American Central Dust,’ the band’s first album on Rounder, refines the band’s robust sound. Fiddle, pedal steel, lap steel and sparkling piano add an atmospheric nuance to Son Volt’s Americana inspired rock, surrounding band leader Jay Farrar’s stream of consciousness lyrical imagery. |

Elvis Perkins in Dearland - Elvis Perkins in Dearland (2009)
mp3 192kpbs | 62MB | 44:18 min.
Folk-rock, Alternative Singer/ Songwriter, Americana, Contemporary Folk
| Quote: | Elvis Perkins (born February 9, 1976) is a folk-rock singer-songwriter, who came to prominence with the release of his debut studio album, Ash Wednesday, in 2007. Perkins subsequently toured in support of the album with his band Elvis Perkins in Dearland, composed of Perkins alongside multi-instrumentalists Brigham Brough (bass,vocals, saxophone), Wyndham Boylan-Garnett (organ, harmonium, trombone, guitar, vocals) and Nick Kinsey (drums, clarinet, vocals). The band released their eponymous debut, Elvis Perkins in Dearland, on March 10, 2009.
Known for their wide range of dynamics and eclectic instrumentation, Elvis Perkins in Dearland have frequently drawn comparisons to Leonard Cohen, Neutral Milk Hotel, Buddy Holly and The Band. <Wikipedia> |
| Quote: | | "I don't let doomsday bother me; do you let it bother you?" asks Elvis Perkins, drawing a line between the downtrodden elegance of his 2007 debut and the rustic, sprightly Americana that energizes his second release. Perkins still writes about death, having lost both his parents to tragic circumstances, but he does so with a sort of homespun grace, turning the funeral dirges of yesteryear into cathartic celebrations. Supported by a proper band and a veritable heap of instruments -- including horns, pump organ, clarinet, and banjo -- Perkins tackles a number of rootsy styles here, from the brassy New Orleans bounce of "Doomsday" to the old-timey chamber pop of "Send My Regards to Lonelyville," whose climax involves a tangle of saxophones, tuba, strings, and brushed percussion. There are traces of past songwriters in this delightful jumble, from Bob Dylan to Leonard Cohen to Pete Seeger, but Perkins rarely lingers long enough to risk being pigeonholed, preferring instead to play the role of a wandering troubadour. He follows "Lonelyville" with "I'll Be Arriving," a rumbling, haunting nugget of organ chords and blues-rock guitar, before closing out the disc with "How's Forever Been Baby," whose barroom waltz is both beautiful and heartbreaking. This is still the same Perkins who turned misery into moving music several years ago, but he's learned to dress up those sentiments in engaging Americana attire, a move that softens the blow but rarely cheapens the art. <AMG> |
1. "Shampoo"
2. "Hey"
3. "Hours Last Stand"
4. "I Heard Your Voice in Dresden"
5. "Send My Fond Regards to Lonelyville"
6. "I'll Be Arriving"
7. "Chains, Chains, Chains"
8. "Doomsday"
9. "123 Goodbye"
10. "How's Forever Been Baby"

Ben Harper and Relentless7 - White Lies For Dark Times (2009)
mp3 VBR~212kpbs | 72MB | 47:24 min.
| Quote: | Combining shuddering, groove-laden funky soul and folky handcrafted acoustics, singer/songwriter Ben Harper enjoyed cult status during the course of the '90s before gaining wider attention toward the decade's end.
On his first album with a new backing band (featuring members of indie rockers Oliver Future), rootsy vet Ben Harper offers up an impressive array of American music, ranging from muddy blues to eerie folk to Hendrixian wah-wah. On the inspirational "Shimmer and Shine," you even get a bit of all three. But the fact that the album's best moments are in the details -- a fiery lick, a wailing vocal ad-lib -- speaks to the singer- guitarist's recurring problems: secondhand song structures and little to say beyond self-helpy reiterations of lyrical beatitudes. <Spin> |
1. Number With No Name
2. Up To You Now
3. Shimmer And Shine
4. Lay There And Hate Me
5. Why Must You Always Dress In Black
6. Skin Thin
7. Fly One Time
8. Keep It Together (So I Can Fall Apart)
9. Boots Like These
10. The Word Suicide
11. Faithfully Remain
