Gladys Knight & The Pips - If I Were Your Woman (1971)


http://rapidshare.com/files/97160916/gk__vic_.zip.html

A new level of sophistication for Gladys Knight -- and a record that opened the door to the slower, sadder, mellower style that would break big for her in the 70s! The title cut is almost worth the price of the record alone -- a slow-stepping, blue-tinged number that perfectly blends Knight's lead vocals and the warmer sounds of The Pips -- but other tunes follow suit with an equally great sound -- one that glows, grows, and flows beautifully as the album rolls on, and really sets the tone for a new sort of crossover vibe in the group.

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - Sunday At The Devil Dirt (05/2008)


http://rapidshare.com/files/97331876/Ca ... D-2008.zip

May 5th 2008 sees the return of Isobel Campbell and Mark Lanegan with their sublime second album, ‘Sunday at Devil Dirt’ on V2 / Cooperative Music.

‘Sunday at Devil Dirt’ is the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed ‘Ballad of the Broken Seas’ which received a Mercury nomination in 2006.

Recorded between studios in the Catskills and Isobel’s native Glasgow, ‘Sunday at Devil Dirt’ is an album of dust bitten ballads and troubled wanderings, easily the equal of its predecessor. Again, Campbell and Lanegan complement each other beautifully, like silk on cracked leather.

While continuing to mine the same rich seam of alt-country, folk and blues of their debut, the new record also embraces a dusty southern gothic, while a sultry, jazzy feel is evident on a number of tracks. As with their debut, the album has been written, produced and arranged by Isobel Campbell, with Lanegan providing lead vocal duties.

Tapes 'n Tapes - Walk It Off (04/2008)


http://www.sendspace.com/file/9c2hxc

The Minneapolis-based band's first record since 2006's widely lauded "The Loon" which established them as ones to watch. Tapes 'N Tapes' signature sound is distinctly their own concoction: shaky vocals, bursts of lo-fi guitars, and haunting keyboard refrains. Jittery rock that's found the sweet spot where experimental song structure meets melodic accessibility.

"The album...is unique in an era of slick 80s chic, mixing the opaque jams of Pavement with the bruised-teen freakiness of The Pixies, while adding cocktail jazz and Tex-Mex folk music like thrift store finds" - Spin.

Kathleen Edwards - Asking for Flowers (03/2008)


http://rapidshare.com/files/97304286/Ka ... F-2008.zip

After a three-year hiatus to catch up on life in her native Ontario, Kathleen Edwards has done nothing to separate herself from the small pool of North America’s fast-rising songwriters, in which she is a deeply immersed member. Her third album continues her clear-minded, open-hearted lyricism, though with a ripeness that comes from years on the road and years more to reflect. Edwards remains in a tug-of-war with matters of the heart, and she’s not afraid slyly to nudge the opposite side. "I’m a Ford Tempo (and) you’re my Maserati," she sings in "I Make the Dough, You Get the Glory." It's a get-lost love song similar in tone to "The Cheapest Key," which finds the storyteller alphabetizing her romantic tribulations. Even the gorgeous melody of the title song is offset by the concession that a simple bouquet is not too much to ask in return. As the record’s co-producer, Edwards has assembled a cracker-jack studio band (led by Heartbreakers’ keyboardist Benmont Tench and pedal steel virtuoso Greg Leisz), and she turns it loose on "Oh Canada," a nod to her home nation, and "Oil Man’s War," which speculates that a permanent trip to that country may be a viable alternative to life south of the border. --Scott Holter
-------------
Kathleen Edwards' Asking for Flowers is her first new album in three years, and the acclaimed artist's most penetrating collection to date. The album features eleven new songs, all written by Edwards, and finds her performing at the peak of her creative powers, supported by a group of master backing musicians. Flowers tells indelible, clear-eyed stories of hope and resignation, humor and death, unconditional love and brazen inequality.

Co-produced by Edwards and Jim Scott (Tom Petty, Whiskeytown), the album features, among others, keyboardist Benmont Tench from The Heartbreakers, drummer Don Heffington (Bob Dylan, The Wallflowers), bassist Bob Glaub (Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, Leonard Cohen), guitarist Colin Cripps (Sarah McLachlan, Bryan Adams), and pedal steel ace Greg Leisz (Sheryl Crow, Wilco, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss).

Fleet Foxes - Sun Giant [EP] (04/2008)

Seattle's Fleet Foxes make such complex, harmonic, 70s inspired folk-rock, it's hard to believe that the band's principle songwriter, Robin Pecknold, is only 21 years old. There's a moment on David Crosby's "Laughing" where Cros, Joni, and the whole gang hit a harmony that might be the most gorgeous moment in the history of recorded music. The Fleet Foxes know that moment and they go for it.

"Not much of a rock band," assesses Fleet Foxes' MySpace influences
list. Maybe so, but they sure write and perform like one, steeped in reverb, and—signed to Sub Pop—are easily tucked away next to My Morning Jacket, the National, Band Of Horses, and any number of discs helmed by Phil Ek, who (not coincidentally) produced "Drops In The River," the Sun Giant EP, from which it is drawn, and their forthcoming full-length. But, at least on first listen, this Seattle quintet seems to have plenty more to offer than NPR-ready indie-folk.
Their saving grace is kind of literal—big, churchy harmonies that are at least appropriately solemn if not necessarily liturgically correct. On their pleasurable first single, "White Winter Hymnal," the voices rolled in glorious waves, and on "Drop In The River" they similarly carve a convincing depth, like water hollowing out rock.

There's a there there. Harmonies like these are always a ruse and never a ruse, and are as such whether selling God or indie rock with equal authenticity. "Drops In The River" is not much like rock except in the way it slips down to quiet (a dramatic void one might imagine filled with cheers, should the band ever break it big) and rises back up as Robin Pecknold moans over, y'know, a drum kit. The real trap, though, which they avoid on "Hymnal" but fall into here, is of the mood overtaking the song. Except for the title phrase ("Days are just drops in the river to be lost always..."), everything melts into amorphous flourishes (including one last outro rise) that swell towards the clouds but break on the shore. - JESSE JARNOW

Scud Mountain Boys - Dance the Night Away (1995)


http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2m4ythndbnj

It seems appropriate enough to start a bio for a release entitled "The Early Year" with a little reminiscing: "Our first gig as the Scud Mountain Boys was at the Bay State Hotel," recalls string-slinger Bruce Tull. "We took simple gear like acoustic guitars. We borrowed the kitchen table from the club. We sat down in chairs around the table, put a lamp on it, and had a convenient place to put our beers and ashtrays. Then we played our set. We have yet to play a gig standing up." That was back in 1993 and though the sit-down strike has since ended, the boys still play songs as warm and friendly as Grandma's house on Easter Sunday.
The impetus for this unorthodox playing style arose from late night gatherings at Tull's house in which the band knocked out unassuming country-flavored tunes whilst sitting around the kitchen table. Though the band enjoyed a good local following playing under rock's usual conventions, their bodies were burning under the hot lights while their hearts were out grazing in breezy lonesome valley.
So they answered the call, broke the mold and took the kitchen to the stage. In this newfound state of relaxation and pain-free strumming they quickly found fans where they thought none existed, both in their home town of Northampton, Mass. and on an international level, with their first release being a track on the Hit the Hay compilation on Sweden's Sound Asleep Records. Writing songs with tenacity (roughly one-a-week), they soon released two remarkably warm and engaging albums on Chunk Records, Pine Box, which came out on vinyl only, and Dance The Night Away.
The buzz around the Scud Mountain Boys traveled quickly and the majors came calling. Sub Pop grabbed the brass ring, leading to last year's critically acclaimed Massachusetts. Following the release, our receptionist-to-the-stars received an incalculable number of calls asking where one could find those early and apparently scarce Chunk releases. With a terse call from the top, an annoyed "how the hell would I know," was changed to a resounding, "right here!"
The Scud Mountain Boys will be on tour throughout '97 joined by their good friend Frank Padellaro on bass and we hope to have a new release from them early next year. Hell, maybe even sooner. Who can say for sure in this topsy-turvey pre-millennial world?

Scud Mountain Boys - Massachusetts (1996)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?9z0emjyyimo

Though frequently compared to the likes of Palace Music, Wilco, and Son Volt, the Scud Mountain Boys have one up on the competition: they are just as frequently referred to as the "real deal." These denizens of Massachusetts's Pioneer Valley are not a "neo-country" band, nor are they indie-rock pretenders; they just write really good, really poignant traditional American songs. There is no historical irony in their music, just great songs and a true commitment to a style of music that many Americans (and certainly a great number of "country" fans) have forgotten.

The Scud Mountain Boys appeared in 1991 in Northampton, Mass. They started off as a more electric, rock-oriented band but soon realized that they were more committed to the quiet acoustic songs they produced around the kitchen table. This sound soon came to define the music of the band and their live performances. They released two albums before signing to Sub Pop, both of which will soon be reissued by Sub Pop. They continue to write one or two songs a day and do a little smoking and drinking aound the kitchen table.

Stone Jack Jones - Bluefolk (2005)


http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?4mymcc3dzy2

Stone Jack Jones was raised in a coal miner's company house on the banks of Buffalo Creek, W.V. Behind the house rose a canopy of green forest; in the front, a red road and a black creek, winding like a shimmering blacksnake. The woods were the first seduction, and whether by foot or by horse, it was there that he roamed. In this solitude he met the Peacock Man, who would transform his notions of reality, reality at the time being Vietnam raging, no prospects of college, and a draft notice in his pocket. He was rejected from the military because of epilepsy and told to go home. His dad, a fourth generation miner, said, "Don't be a fifth," so the young musician picked up his fiddle and began a life of wandering.Stone Jack Jones traveled the country playing fiddle and guitar, from the hills of West Virginia to Boston, Atlanta, Fort Worth, Baltimore and New York City. Traditional Irish, medieval, punk and country eventually merged into his dark and atmospheric American music.

He ended up in Nashville, TN, and soon met Patty Griffin at the legendary Jack's Guitar Bar, where they spent many a night honing their songs. Stone Jack Jones went on several tours with Patty early in her career, forming what has proved to be an enduring musical relationship. A chance friendship with producer Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Lou Reed, Sleater-Kinney) began a collaboration that shaped all these different influences and experiences into a distinctive and evocative style. Narcotic Lollipop, Stone Jack Jones' first release, laid the groundwork for his highly praised song style. His second record, bluefolk, is the middle act in a sequence of three planned releases. bluefolk integrates the wide range of his inspirations and features four songs with Patty Griffin, performing with an unusual twist on her vocal approach. It's moody, complex and mesmerizing, from the MLK tribute "Freedom Reigns," to the subtly-veiled antiwar "Bread." Balancing uplifting celebratory dirges and exultant dark songs, Stone Jack Jones unweaves his America.

Split Lip Rayfield - In The Mud (1999)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0xljiwbzmtj

The Kansas-based post-punk progressive bluegrass outfit Split Lip Rayfield was comprised of vocalist/banjoist David Lawrence, guitarist/dobroist Kirk Rundstrom, and one-string bassist Jeff Eaton, whose instrument was fashioned from the gas tank of a 1965 Ford. An outgrowth of the group Scroat Belly (though it didn't take long for them to outlive the band that spawned them), the trio debuted in 1998 with a self-titled LP issued on the Bloodshot label. In the Mud followed a year later; by this time, singer and mandolin player Wayne Gottstine had expanded the lineup to four pieces and Eric Mardis had replaced Lawrence on banjo. The new millennium saw the release of a third effort, Never Make It Home, which arrived in stores in late 2000. After three years of touring, which saw the group opening for everyone from Del McCoury to Nashville Pussy, Split Lip Rayfield recorded and released a fourth long-player, Should Have Seen It Coming, in 2004. In early 2006, Rundstrom (who had also released a few solo records) was diagnosed with cancer. He continued to perform with the band for months as he fought and underwent treatment, but Rundstrom ultimately succumbed to the disease in February 2007, just about a week after playing what would be his last show. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Blue Mountain - Tonight It's Now Or Never [LIVE] (2002)


http://www.mediafire.com/?6j5vozsomju

Serving as their last official release, their first live album, as well as something of a career retrospective, Tonight It's Now or Never is a fitting coda for one of alternative country's pioneering bands. With two discs and 21 tracks, the band delves into generous helpings of traditional folk tunes, cowpunk anthems, and bluesy, feedback-heavy rock with equal aplomb. Whether storming through the rollicking "Bloody 98" or dipping into the hypnotic English folk of "Young and Tender Ladies," Cary Hudson and Laurie Stirratt imbue songs of sadness and longing with the genuine spirit of the Appalachian folk and Delta blues from which they draw. Similarly, the Neil Young & Crazy Horse riff rock of "My Wicked, Wicked Ways" and the Celtic shades of "Rye Whiskey" show a band who was more than capable of moving past the commonplace strains of Americana, sounding as much like John Doe and Exene Cervenka on their harmonies as they do George Jones and Tammy Wynette. Sadly, the group would part ways shortly after the March 11, 2001, performance at Chicago's Schuba's, with both Hudson and Stirratt either releasing or readying solo albums within a year, making this an excellent document of one of the band's final moments. ~ Matt Fink, All Music Guide

Gunshy - There's No Love In This War (2007)

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?8go9g0xtswj

Magnet (p.107) - "A raspy, smoke-curdled voice reminiscent of the Dropkick Murphy's Mike McColgan...conveys wartime calamity with heartbreaking authenticity."

Effusive praise for "the greatest generation" has grown tiresome, as tales of the grunts fighting the last good war have been retold many times over. That fatigue doesn't really apply to The Gunshy's There's No Love In This War, though. For its fourth album, leader Matt Arbogast created 17 songs based on letters his grandfather wrote his grandmother from the European front lines in World War II. Arbogast's scratchy, Tom Waits-esque tone provides the perfect voice to the weary, sweetly lovesick notes. They're also well complemented by the group's (also Waits-ian) Americana, which varies from hushed ("August 13, 1943") to rollicking ("December 18, 1943"). All of it makes War an affecting, engrossing listen.

NQ Arbuckle - The Last Supper In a Cheap Town (2006)


http://www.mediafire.com/?31emmymnyzb

Above the Mason-Dixon line, filling the urban dwellings of the Blue States, are millions of indie rockers who will never listen to country music, not even to be ironic. With a few small exceptions, it's probably one of the most regionally specific genres in American music, which is why it should be no surprise that The Last Supper in a Cheap Town, a country record with Blue State appeal, is the work of a Toronto based singer-songwriter. NQ Arbuckle is the Canadian country music version of Shane MacGowan: not only does he sing with the same smoke-and-whiskey growl as the former Pogues frontman; he has a similar knack for telling stories of the downtrodden, drunk and heartbroken.

Arbuckle's voice is so gruff, and he sings in such an aggressive cadence, that you'd almost think he was destined to front a Pogues knock-off band, like Johnny Bonnel and The Swingin' Utters -- not strumming an acoustic guitar, backed by a fiddle and a lap-steel. Yet after hearing "Outside the Stars", in which lyrics like "I'm tired and I'm hungry down the streets and the back alleys / In the west end of town I think of you as I walk home" scrape themselves across the gravel corridors of Arbuckle's throat, Country music seems like an obvious choice. Country music, after all, was born of blue collar melancholy.

Like MacGowan's drunken Irish ramblings, Arbuckle attacks each tune like a modern day folk tale, focusing in on single moments of alcohol-enhanced encounters and fleshing them out until his characters are living, breathing and stumbling. The narrator in "Sun's Hanging Low", a morbid and aching ballad, sits in a car outside his muse's house, staring at her bedroom window. Arbuckle paints this guy's psychotic pinings with a few economical strokes of his pen. When he mentions "I'm so crazy for you, I'd burn your house down," it doesn't sound frightening -- or funny, for that matter. You're just hearing the moaning of a truly lovesick individual. It's a dangerous literary decision, but Arbuckle earns it with his spot-on lyrics and sells it with his amazing voice.

Solidifying the notion that Arbuckle is some sort of country music doppelganger to Shane MacGowan, The Last Supper in a Cheap Town closes with "Good Night Irene on New Year's Eve", a bittersweet tune so similar in tone and technique to The Pogues' "Fairytale of New York" that it might as well be called "Fairytale of Montreal". Clearly there are no traces of Celtic-fused punk here, and the characters in Arbuckle's tale are not incarcerated, but the same nostalgia and melancholy aches through both songs. "Wrap your arms around me now, pick me up and drag me down. In another year in this old town, I hope we're still hanging out," Arbuckle growls. But it's a pretty growl; The Last Supper in a Cheap Town is filled with the same acidic beauty as lost love and drunken poetry.

Pine Hill Haints - Those Who Wander (2005)


http://www.mediafire.com/?8gtlt0zo0po

Taking inspiration from roots music and Southern tales of the supernatural, the Pine Hill Haints play a self-described style of "Alabama ghost country" that touches upon honky tonk, rockabilly, folk, and bluegrass. As a child, Jamie Barrier (vocals, guitar) often joined his grandfather in attending local hootenannies, where he was exposed to the musical traditions of his native Alabama. Later, Barrier honed his own voice by singing in a graveyard -- the Pine Hill Cemetery -- and formed the raucous rockabilly outfit the Wednesdays while still in elementary school. The Wednesdays would go on to release several albums in the 2000s, but Barrier nevertheless formed the Pine Hill Haints in 1998 as a second (and considerably different) project, piecing together a revolving lineup that ultimately solidified around core members Matt Bakula (washtub bass, banjo), Ben Rhyne (snare drum), and Jamie's wife, Katie Barrier (washboard, mandolin). The band issued its earliest recordings (three full-lengths, a 12" vinyl, and several split albums) on Barrier's own Arkam Records before attracting attention from K Records' founder Calvin Johnson, who recorded the band's next release -- You Bury Your Hate in a Shallow Grave -- for free. The disc was released on Portland's LELP label, as was the band's follow-up EP, Pine Hill Haints Meet Clampitt, Gaddis & Buck. While the Pine Hill Haints retreated back to Arkam for 2005's Those Who Wander, they were subsequently picked up by K Records and released Ghost Dance, an eclectic album of 20 lo-fi songs, in November 2007.

Pine Hills Haints - Jack of Diamonds: 7”EP

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ctokztetf0n

It makes absolute sense that DIY punks—the ones born and raised on traditional country—after the initial fast, angry spurt, and facing a world that’s neither improving nor a head that feels right screaming the songs of youth, turn back to their roots. Most punks know abandonment. And, culturally, the world of Hank Williams Sr., Merle Haggard, and Johnny Cash, has been left solely as a fallow graveyard in favor for country that sounds like it’s selling toothpaste for Wal Mart. Not only do the Haints capture the ghosts of old greats, they’ve placed those ghosts in their hearts and at your feet. So, even if you don’t know that The Haints screen-print their own records, book their own tours, and help out a bunch of people, this 7” still stands up by itself as a testament: that old shack of traditional country is being candlelit once again by society’s discards who’re playing songs that give me chills. –Todd Taylor (Arkam)

Lonesome Wyatt and the Holy Spooks - Sabella (2001)

http://www.mediafire.com/?fj0biz0bywj

Creepy late nineteenth century sound with a dark sense of humor...will unquestionably stand the test of time. --Shut Eye Records
----------
Rare, early solo recordings by Those Poor Bastards' singer Lonesome Wyatt. "Sabella" was released three years before Those Poor Bastards debut EP "Country Bullshit," and shows a more gothic side to poor Lonesome's songwriting. Included here are haunted tales of dead horses, eyeless children and Satan. Better than a shovel to the back of the head.

The Blacks - Just Like Home (2000)

http://www.mediafire.com/?a2yd3nm32nx

The Blacks, Bloodshot Records’ resident carnival punks, are back with their second CD, Just Like Home. The spirit of X and Dock Boggs inspire eleven originals, from banjo-laden laments to jangly burlesque songscapes. There's also a sultry cover of a Tom Waits tune that'll charm all the snakes on the premises. We invite you to wander off the beaten trail, away from the sissy Tilt-A-Whirl and that dumb swing ride; eschew the ring toss and that impossible balloon game--you wouldn't impress your date by winning her a WWF mirror, anyway; go over there, behind that sinister looking trailer, that’s where the REAL games and rides are.

"If The Blacks threw a party, Bertolt Brecht, Hank Williams, Lux Interior and T. Rex’s Marc Bolan would all be hanging out at the punch bowl, getting drunk and trying on Gina Black’s fishnet stockings." Greg Kot, Chicago Tribune

"Incorporating boisterous indie rock, outlandish country/punk, debauched Dixieland, Delta blues, cabaret cool and rockabilly boogie, The Blacks keep the pleasure principle in effect with deceptively simple songwriting and climactic performances." Mitch Myers, Magnet

"...Cramps-vintage thrash and a drunken sailor blowing taps..." James Mann, Ink 19

"Believe the hype. The Blacks are currently the toast of every indie-rock and insurgent country fan, and with good reason. The seemingly front-rank status that the band now has is well-earned." James Porter, Illinois Entertainer
