October 30

I can't remember the last time a spent a whole evening just listening to old music and scanning the net for new (to me stuff). Here's what I've discovered so far tonight.

Magnolia Electric Co's album, Josephine. I've had it for a while but just haven't had time to listen. Whoa. Good. Like Top 10 albums of the year good. In fact, the first track, O! Grace, might be one of my favorite songs of the year.

A free sampler from Lost Highway records. It has songs from Hayes Carll, Willie, Robert Earl Keen, Lyle Lovett, Ryan Bingham and Black Joe Lewis. My 2 favs are Willie's cover of Hank Williams' Lost Highway (not sure who the fella singing with him is, but damn, he has a voice) and Hayes' new song called Wating On The Stars To Fall.

A new band called the Star Room Boys. The tidbit of research I've done tonight revealed that the got together in Athens (GA) back in the late 90's/early 00's. Too bad for me that it appears they're not together anymore. However, they did leave behind little gems like this one called Cocaine Parties.

This gorgeous song by Wyckham Porteous.
