Recent tunes I like

Carl Spidla – Blackfly Rag

This tune has it all: an old-timey sound, spunky guitar plucking, a gritty voice, and lyrics that never end.

Little Joy – No One’s Better Sake

I love the sunny, summery, laid-back, reggae feel of this song.

Band of Annuals – Something True

Like Blackfly Rag, this was recorded live, and it’s the little background noises that lend so much to the feel. The harmonica and slide guitar make it.

Dawn Landes – Twilight

Not to be confused with the movie, I end up swaying alongside the music and Landes’ lilting voice, until she ultimately breaks free in an unexpected way.
