The wheels are rollin' along, and that suits me just fine. See me, just running behind the second to last carriage of that ol' train o' life with some mangy dogs? I'm catching up, doing it stupidly and having fun whilst trying.
Here are some things that I really like this week.
Corin Raymond
Sweet country-folk from Canadia, Corin is a small town poet who has hit the road and hasn't stopped running. I like its honesty, its playfullness and optimism at the core. I'm a sucker for a boy with a guitar, a travelling soul and a heart full of tales, 'cause that's what I want to be, just without the boy part.
Eric Bibb
Picked up his new CD this week, burnt off my mother (thanks for the tunes/dinner/raising me... consider this mention your mother's day present). I saw him at a Port Fairy folk festival a few years back, and this album has a beautiful version of one of my favourite songs (The Cape by Guy Clark) as well as a myriad of others. Put it on your headphones and dream away.
I could put up every song I listen to on the tube.. so just spend a few hours as I have... you won't regret it.
Chris Altmann
One of my favourites from Boogie. Playing his last show ever in Melbourne this Saturday. Get along lil' doggies. Canada, get on this. I danced like a madwoman. I am slightly mad, so this isn't much of a jump.. but hey, he is still pretty darn cool.
Graveyard Train
Ever wondered what kind of music would be played at a southern country werewolf-mummy-zombie fight? Look no further than Horror-Country pioneers, Graveyard Train. GO TO THE HIFI THIS FRIDAY, album launch, I will be there (this is no incentive, don't worry, I won't talk to you I promise) and enjoy the chain-janglin', washboard-scrapin', wolf-howlin' horror fest.
So I seem to have gained a country twang this week.
Y'all come back now.
