The 32-year old Sean Watkins has released 3 solo albums (Sara plays violin and sings on the last two) and has done interesting projects both with Toad and the Wet Sprocket singer Glen Philips and his current project with Switchfoot member Jon Foreman. Originally called <span style="font-style: italic;">The Real SeanJon</span>, the pair sensibly changed their name to the Fleet Foxes like <span style="font-style: italic;">Fiction Family</span> and just released a self-titled album in January full of folk-pop flair.<br /><br />FRR Song Picks:<br /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=301903170&id=301903109&s=143441">Betrayal</a><br /><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=301903215&id=301903109&s=143441">War in My Blood</a><br /><br />Links:<br /><a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=101429202&ft=1&f=10001">NPR Interview with David Dye</a><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Watkins">Wikipedia Article on Sean Watkins</a>Brett Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07060124447294948397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120448489252769672.post-72475175247010514882009-02-27T09:52:00.004-05:002009-02-27T10:00:32.779-05:00Interview with Nels and Alex Cline<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1xwt5zG4S9XU9dbSwW3IkiW6GW6H7o-Tm2y9C_cVoe1BT-xQ4taFszrpADXxkNu2obY0j2qOjR0MS9M0eUgsZqREXwszLhZ_FNmx9JKBeQFkFJ_LgJZM93byqfgX2NniAXmx2v2s9I8s/s1600-h/nels-cline.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1xwt5zG4S9XU9dbSwW3IkiW6GW6H7o-Tm2y9C_cVoe1BT-xQ4taFszrpADXxkNu2obY0j2qOjR0MS9M0eUgsZqREXwszLhZ_FNmx9JKBeQFkFJ_LgJZM93byqfgX2NniAXmx2v2s9I8s/s400/nels-cline.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5307491725550824674" border="0" /></a><br />Did you know Wilco guitarist and all around great experimental guitarist Nels Cline had a twin brother Alex who, like Nels, also has a recent solo album?

The three were briefly (from 1998 until 2000) the acoustic trio, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cry_Cry_Cry_%28band%29">Cry Cry Cry</a>, that resulted in an eponymously titled album (Razor & Tie Records) comprised largely of cover songs of lesser-known artists. Prior to that, Richard had produced three records under the Shanachie label. In 2000, Shindell and his family moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and recorded Vuelta (Koch Records, 2004). Ricahrd's most recent CD is an astonishing collection of covers called South of Delia which features guest appearances by Lucy Kaplansky, Viktor Krauss, Richard Thompson, Tony Trischka, Eliza Gilkyson and others, and relates to Richard's looking back at the USA through the eyes of an expat.<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/97dOq9ybnQ8&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/97dOq9ybnQ8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br />Richard Shindell - Wisteria<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XqdwqsvfXyU&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XqdwqsvfXyU&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />Dar Williams - It's Allright<br /><br />Web Links:<br /><a href="http://www.richardshindell.com/">Richard Shindell's Web Site</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_ckD2LAGzY">Lucy Kaplansky solo video</a><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/lucykaplansky">Luck Kaplansky's MySpace page</a><br /><a href="http://www.lucykaplansky.com/site.html">Lucy Kaplansky's Web Site</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.myspace.com/darwilliams">Dar Williams' MySpace page</a><br /><a href="http://www.darwilliams.com/">Dar Williams' Web Site</a>Brett Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07060124447294948397noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120448489252769672.post-83656544703472311682008-10-21T13:12:00.004-04:002008-10-21T13:26:31.495-04:00Jenny Lewis: Acid Tongue<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhznwo-YqPjFt7VWDdSPSnQS-C_u_jBKZtHKXkOBn7M1ovTcyLrVxLtr92AmaFOfw-liwmccklMt70xV6H_Q9oO5JnmMhaTjvhZCSS5o71mfiNEZIcLquvN8u77bQlpyUfrG1oPqwllxh0/s1600-h/61gYoKmeLZL._SS500_.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 286px; height: 286px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhznwo-YqPjFt7VWDdSPSnQS-C_u_jBKZtHKXkOBn7M1ovTcyLrVxLtr92AmaFOfw-liwmccklMt70xV6H_Q9oO5JnmMhaTjvhZCSS5o71mfiNEZIcLquvN8u77bQlpyUfrG1oPqwllxh0/s400/61gYoKmeLZL._SS500_.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259656245478098690" border="0" /></a>I'm a big fan of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Lewis">Jenny Lewis</a> (also of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rilo_Kiley">Rilo Kiley</a>) and her first solo record, Rabbit Fur Coat (with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Watson_Twins">Watson Twins</a>).

Miriello is a fresh new voice, though she also shows the confidence and flair of a more seasoned artist on this disc of songs that she co-wrote and which journey through pop, rock, folk, and alt-country.<center></center> The songs are rich melodically, given vitality and rhythmic energy by her tight backing band, and feature lyrics that are everything from clever to sad to wry.<center></center> She sometimes affects an almost conversational style of writing, as on "Brand New," when she talks of the guy who looks like "the kind of a person who would take me to a party on the wrong side of town." On the wonderful, folky "Drifter," she writes of a relationship in which "Tonight I feel you come back home like a drifter, finding shelter in these arms."<center></center> There are occasional echoes of other singers - can a hint of Joni Mitchell be heard in "Beauty of Goodbye," a folk-rock hybrid with a great chorus? - but Miriello has her own voice as performer and writer.<center></center> As if to prove it, she closes out the disc with a tougher, more bluesy sound on "Hey," showing yet one more side of a singer comfortable in many genres.<center></center> This is a strong debut. One of those discs that keeps getting better each time you hear it.<center></center><br />Amie on the web:<br /></span><ul><li><a href="http://www.amiemiriello.com/">Her Web Site (tour dates, photos, bio)<br /></a></li><li><span class="article"><a href="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=34310778">MySpace page (songs)</a></span></li><li><span class="article"><a href="http://www.last.fm/music/Amie+Miriello">Last.fm page</a><br /></span></li></ul><span class="article"><br /></span>Brett Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07060124447294948397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120448489252769672.post-82102218762719420362008-09-26T13:49:00.003-04:002008-09-26T14:00:10.052-04:00Teddy Thompson<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlSZg4R1iGgxOyF0f2F9sTsJRamhYc8Qk1oGJkrRU1Jqv3pAHihwDUX0pXxwJy8UuKPPJHq_bfNFvVtmA9LffRaAVXBYf7syU_ntmYztgXnYDliw48PqCNWwZJyOdORjkNaDh8BMr-v9o/s1600-h/Teddy_Thompson_2-17-04_-_Photo_by_Anthony_Pepitone.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlSZg4R1iGgxOyF0f2F9sTsJRamhYc8Qk1oGJkrRU1Jqv3pAHihwDUX0pXxwJy8UuKPPJHq_bfNFvVtmA9LffRaAVXBYf7syU_ntmYztgXnYDliw48PqCNWwZJyOdORjkNaDh8BMr-v9o/s400/Teddy_Thompson_2-17-04_-_Photo_by_Anthony_Pepitone.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5250389153403696466" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.teddythompson.com/bio.aspx">Teddy Thompson</a>, son of folk-rock legends <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Thompson_%28musician%29">Richard and Linda Thompson</a>, has a new disc (his fourth) entitled <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Piece_of_What_You_Need">A Piece of What You Need</a> [ <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verve_Forecast">Verve Forecast</a> ].

Here's some words from the <a href="http://blog.kexp.org/blog/2008/09/03/song-of-the-day-dr-dog-the-old-days/">KEXP Blog</a> along with a selected track:<br /></p> <dir><strong>Dr. Dog - The Old Days (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.digitalwell.washington.edu/dw/1/51/81/8148cac5-04dd-484a-b31f-4e4cc5ff2ede.mp3" onclick="urchinTracker('/outgoing/www.digitalwell.washington.edu/dw/1/51/81/8148cac5-04dd-484a-b31f-4e4cc5ff2ede.mp3');">MP3</a>)</strong></dir> <p>Feeling at home now with the 24-track recorder first used on 2007s <em>We All Belong</em>, Philadelphia’s Dr. Dog has taken its sound to new heights. <em>Fate</em> takes the band’s love of 60s pop and psychedelia and gives it the best studio treatment in the band’s growing and highly successful discography. No Dr. Dog post would be complete without mentioning their most obvious influence, The Beatles. Guitarist Scott McMicken and bassist Toby Leaman certainly play the Lennon and McCartney roles, trading and sharing primary vocal and songwriting duties, but there’s plenty to Dr. Dog beyond the nostalgia they so effortlessly create. While catering to the strengths of each band member, the album branches out into soul and gospel (<q>Hang On</q>), reggae (<q>The Breeze</q>) and plenty of funk and R&B. Whether or not <em>Fate</em> is the album these guys <q>were destined to make,</q> it’s the greatest translation of their amazing live show to disc, and that is perhaps the greatest compliment I can give their latest effort. Check them out for yourself later this month when they play The Tractor.

"I think we're all in a really poppy place for sure," Droste says. "There are dark lyrics in play, and it's not like the whole album is going to be an up-tempo radio pop thing at all. We'll probably never get played on the radio, but [on] just a couple of the songs the mood is perhaps a bit sunnier than 'Yellow House.'"Brett Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07060124447294948397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120448489252769672.post-34216181643682661522008-07-07T14:12:00.004-04:002008-07-08T11:01:22.980-04:00The Lilywhite Sessions: She and Him<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFSidezVml20UlUQIHlZ3rXud5O1GxZZd3jQyVtz-I9mngdeOJwjaYo5joJytFQDi1FHtAYdmEmb1udUkqoP_FofOae1KSPausJKxnUT17mzdLqbolGoByHTcExvaYm-yj-hkxySvOJ1E/s1600-h/shehim300.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFSidezVml20UlUQIHlZ3rXud5O1GxZZd3jQyVtz-I9mngdeOJwjaYo5joJytFQDi1FHtAYdmEmb1udUkqoP_FofOae1KSPausJKxnUT17mzdLqbolGoByHTcExvaYm-yj-hkxySvOJ1E/s400/shehim300.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220336846030796930" border="0" /></a> The <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thelillywhitesessions">Lillywhite Sessions</a> at Avatar Studios is a new aspect of <a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=39&agg=1">The World Cafe Radio Show</a> on National Public Radio.

Like many who travel within the self-contained universe that is Texas country music, he emerges into the national spotlight with a lot more depth and polish than listeners expect to hear in their first brush with an artist. But four albums into his career, Temple’s a memorable songwriter with a country-folk-rock sound that has the sort of sing-a-long middle-American earthiness of John Mellancamp’s hits and Steve Earle’s Guitar Town. Lloyd Maines’ production keeps Temple’s lyrics and voice as the central motor, but guitarist David Grissom is given space to add some hot-shot electric licks.</div> </div> <div class="posting"> <p>This album is a real treat for anyone seeking honest country music with folk and rock sides, unaffected by both Nashville’s commercial intentions and alt.country’s anti-Nashville response.<br /></p><p>[©2008 redtunictroll at hotmail dot com]</p>Links:<br /><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Thousand_Miles">Wikipedia Entry for Two Thousand Miles</a><br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Owen_Temple">Wikipedia Entry for Owen Temple</a><br /><ul><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Record_producer" title="Record producer">Produced</a> by Lloyd Maines</li><li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recording_engineer" class="mw-redirect" title="Recording engineer">Engineered</a> by Cris Burns</li><li>Recorded at <a href="http://www.bismeauxstudio.com/">Bismeaux Studio</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin%2C_Texas" title="Austin, Texas">Austin, Texas</a><sup id="cite_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Thousand_Miles#cite_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup></li></ul><a href="http://www.owentemple.com/">http://www.owentemple.com/</a><br /><span class="mw-headline"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>Owen Temple Discography</span> <ul><li><i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Store_%28album%29" title="General Store (album)">General Store</a></i> (1997)</li><li><i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passing_Through_%28album%29" title="Passing Through (album)">Passing Through</a></i> (1999)</li><li><i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_Here_and_Now" title="Right Here and Now">Right Here and Now</a></i> (2002)</li><li><i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Thousand_Miles" title="Two Thousand Miles">Two Thousand Miles</a></i> (2008)</li></ul><br /><br /><br /><br /> </div>Brett Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07060124447294948397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120448489252769672.post-45997228609632044922008-06-09T12:03:00.002-04:002008-06-09T12:35:57.351-04:00Monday Album Roundup<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqqwL5zG-i8vjwKNJgs6yI_pPhEwiLgLMauwkwJRlNFU5LTU5WUz3vts-Y8qD4EOrEk8VWcQkY0HsX_U-9T56JYUP4b9aJ1FnGLURoX8IVq-hh7Y-jEYLJJ7y5Mme5T8UkCajhl6Swb1g/s1600-h/caroleKingTap.jpeg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 187px; height: 187px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqqwL5zG-i8vjwKNJgs6yI_pPhEwiLgLMauwkwJRlNFU5LTU5WUz3vts-Y8qD4EOrEk8VWcQkY0HsX_U-9T56JYUP4b9aJ1FnGLURoX8IVq-hh7Y-jEYLJJ7y5Mme5T8UkCajhl6Swb1g/s320/caroleKingTap.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209913213575438450" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Carole King: Tapestry<span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></span><span style="font-style: italic;">(Legacy Edition reissue with additional live versions)</span><br />Looking back at the best-selling albums in pop history, not all retain their emotional impact. <a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=278129200&s=143441">Tapestry</a> however, plays just as powerfully as it did in 1971.

That has long been the question facing Weinland frontman Adam Shearer. But the real issue at hand for this solo songwriting project-cum-three piece-cum-folk ensemble is how big a sound to have. La Lamentor has an answer." --Willamette Week<br /><br />"An album that announces itself as a classic from beginning to end." --The Portland Tribune<br /><br />"An amazing & intimate collection of hauntingly beautiful folk lullabies-the kind that are so good they give you goose bumps." --The Portland Mercury<br /><br />"It's clear from the first word that Weinland have created a special album-it's a little bit country, it's a little bit rock and roll, upbeat melodies with tormented lyrics alongside quiet poignant songs with messages of hope. It's like Dylan always having been electric, or like Neil Young putting out an album of indie-rock covers." --MOG<br /><br />"Weinland provides a sound reminiscent of Hayden and Iron & Wine's group efforts, with roots in folk, rock, and a touch of the Bakersfield sound." --AuralFitness<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span><a href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=275655734&id=275655726&s=143441"></a>Brett Terryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07060124447294948397noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9120448489252769672.post-45493739650927903702008-06-05T15:09:00.003-04:002008-07-29T13:56:38.898-04:00Rajaton: Finnish a cappella<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd6SjybAbTVdLkFhnHdtFSild-x2-vfz8DF871B1yhwlVF_tYT_OavQ7e0Z1V25KZB2T6kt6Cj6vevGFat5jlAkE9cyzEow8EBaX21QEHFy__95r1eGO1lpW3ahFNcM9p73WpDGmp_oRI/s1600-h/rajaton1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd6SjybAbTVdLkFhnHdtFSild-x2-vfz8DF871B1yhwlVF_tYT_OavQ7e0Z1V25KZB2T6kt6Cj6vevGFat5jlAkE9cyzEow8EBaX21QEHFy__95r1eGO1lpW3ahFNcM9p73WpDGmp_oRI/s320/rajaton1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5208476718991727490" border="0" /></a><br />Adapted from <a href="http://www.singers.com/jazz/rajaton.html">http://www.singers.com/jazz/rajaton.html</a>:<br />I'm guessing that not a lot of people have heard the sound of finnish a cappella music, and it's time to change that, as far as I'm concerned. Vocal ensemble <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rajaton</span>, founded in autumn 1997, is a professional a cappella group with six singers (SSATBarB) most of whom have studied singing either at the Sibelius-Academy or at the Pop/Jazz Conservatory in Helsinki, Finland. They primarily perform music written for the group. As its name shows (rajaton = boundless), its musical scale ranges from sacred music to pop and from folk music to contemporary concert music. At the moment, their repertoire consists mostly of settings of texts by Finnish and foreign poets written for the ensemble by young Finnish choral composers. Rajaton also performs new arrangements of Finnish and foreign folk songs.<br /><br />Give a listen to <a href="http://www.gramotunes.com/Rajaton_Mita_kaikatat_kivonen_.mp3">Mita kaikatat, kivonen</a>?
