Red House Painters :: Down Colorful Hill

Down Colorful Hill was the Red House Painters coming out party. Kozelek's haunting angst-rock had found it's way to tape, and the results were both noteworthy and emotionally charged. These harrowing tales of pain became the band's calling card in the years to follow. DOWNLOAD:MP3: Red House Painters :: Medicine BottleMP3:

The Freightwhaler Sessions


Sometime in early 1996, Whiskeytown members Ryan Adams and drummer Skillet Gilmore took some time off after the Faithless Street album to form the short lived alt.country outfit Freightwhaler.

These studio-demo recordings are a must have for those interested in early Whiskeytown and/or the burgeoning mid '90s . . .

Gram Parsons :: International Submarine Band

The late gram ParsonsPrior to his stint with The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers a young Gram Parsons formed The International Submarine Band shortly after dropping out of Harvard.

Chris Mills :: The Wall To Wall Sessions

"Ashes to ashes, trust to dust, I don't know what it means to be burned by something you love so much, I think I must be living the dream..." -- Chris Mills Chris Mills' Wall To Wall Sessions reminds me of digging through my parents old record collection. The production, the instrumentation, the accompanying vocals...all of it soaked in '70s era sentimentality, minus any of the pastiche. become a member or log in.

Deadboy & Elephantmen :: Are The Night Sky

It would be easy to write these two off as a White Stripes knock off: a) boy/girl duo - check. b) lo-fi garage rock - check. c) affection for bare-boned blues sludge riffs coupled with the oh-so-quiet/precious moments. check. But you would do yourself a disservice by stopping there and not delving past the surface. In the early '00s I dismissed many, many a good band due to the proliferation of the "The" bands at . . .

Eef Barzelay :: Bitter Honey

Clem Snide's Eef Barzelay has a solo joint out this month. It's all acoustic -- and it's all downtrodden. So, if you don't like downer records you would absolutely loathe this one. It's a real sinker. Having said that, there are some moments on here that seem very real, like eavesdropping on a conversation between artist and instrument. Try out
