I've been listening to some new(er) music lately.

The Decemberists - The King is Dead
The Civil Wars - Barton Hollow
Gillian Welch - The Harrow and the Harvest
Vampire Weekend - S/T (my son's album. Catchy stuff.)

I have all of those except for Vampire Weekend. Thanks for a new band to follow. Catchy sums up Vampire nicely. There is quite a bit of little nuances happening in their songs.

Van Morrison - Too Late to Stop Now - really makes me wish for an opportunity to see him live.

Their music is an interesting combination of Indie Rock and the Soweto sound (made famous by Paul Simon's Graceland). Their second album, Contra, emphasizes the Soweto sound even more than the first.

This mornin' a little high energy blues!
Walter Trout- Unspoiled by Progress. BLUES with attitude!
The first track is 'The Working Class!' ,followed by Goin' Down........
He's huge in Europe and Britain and a local grown Bluesbreaker from Huntington Beach. His former bassist Jimmy Trapp was a good friend and fellow fishin' nut. Too bad ole Mongo was taken from us way too early. I miss him.

Aha, that's likely why I like them. I'll now need to buy Contra.

Did you ever get the live album the Decembrist put out Finnbow? It came out last year but it is sort of expensive...I have yet to hear it. Also The Crane Wife is a good album too...sort of like progressive rock meets folk music.

I have both Barton Hollow and the Welch album, which is a masterpiece.

I didn't get the live album, but I also have Picaresque and Castaways and Cutouts. As good as they are, I prefer The King is Dead. Interesting stuff.
