Mofro's debut album, Blackwater, was my favorite release of 2002. I loved it...still love it. Southern soul, funk, and front porch blues. A medley of influences spanning Stevie Wonder at his funkiest to Exile-era Stones. That Muscle Schoals sound is dripping all over . . .

Jens (left) seated with Erlend OyeI think I first got turned onto Jens music via Swedes Please. Another fine example of an artist whose music I may not have heard if it was not for some of great music blogs out there. Jens morphs from bombastic pop star to Nick Drake-like folkie with ease, mastering both. Listen to this recent NPR interview with the songwriter: Jens Lekman . . .

The unreleased album Those Weren't The Days is the missing link between the rural tone of Faithless Street and the more produced/polished sound of the band's follow-up Stranger . . .

One of my favorite rock-n-roll troubadours, Daniel Hutchens, is on the road playing a few acoustic dates paired with guitarist Eric Martinez. Now I've only been to Idaho once, and not to Moscow, but IF Moscow IS indeed near you I would highly recommend checking out their show. If anyone goes to the Portland gigs, please send me an email with the details as a California tour is not in their immediate plans. Listen to these to hear what I mean.*Jan. 31 :: Johns Alley Moscow, ID*Feb. 2 :: Poor Richards Portland, OR*Feb. 5 . . .

"Country music lets you write about anything - any truth you think you know."
-- Dave Marr
Hard country and constant sorrow. The Star Room Boys music is steeped heavily in both. My favorite honky-tonk band may be no more, but in their wake they left us with two amazing, heartbreakung albums. **Fans of Dwight Yoakam and Richard Buckner's warble take notice.

Is Spiderland my favorite album of the '90s? That's tough...I can't say for sure, but it's pretty damn close. It still resonates with me as much as it did at the time of initial release. I won't go into all the bands Slint influenced over the past 15+ years as it's obvious once you hear the music. Slint . . .

It's 1999. Kathleen Edwards records a six-song EP entitled "Building 55" and presses 500 copies. This EP, now out of print, is the first recorded output of Edwards' career prior to her signing with a label and releasing her full length debut, 2003's Failer. Here are six tracks off "Building 55" for posterity. Brittle, affecting alt.country.DOWNLOAD:MP3 . . .

Country, folk, raga, jazz, and bluegrass. All these genres and more play out and interweave in Kevin Barker's wanderlust album Ghost Man on First. This first installment in the Ghost Man trilogy is challenging to say the least, but rewarding under the right circumstances. Fans of free-form neo-folk should dig, i.e. fans of Animal Collective, Bright Black Morning Light, etc.
