Folk/Acoustic albums

[Macspur]

I don't know how you feel about I Am Kloot? I love 'em and their main man John Bramwell released a superb live recording of a solo acoustic gig back in 2013 at the Hebden Bridge Trades Club. If you get a chance, go watch him live he's great entertainment..

A very good artist and someone I keep meaning to write about on RMN

I have a feeling that this was a limited edition CD release, only on sale at the merchandise stall at his/their gigs. I bought my copy at a gig last year.

The Oh Hellos album Dear Wormwood is very decent, especially the title track.

A brother and sister lead group. Saw them at Beautiful Days Festival and was pleasantly surprised.

Bet they were good live... certainly a band well regarded on the American Folk/Roots scene.

I may have been a bit hasty, just been flicking through his back catalogue on Spotify and came across Harder than easy... a lovely acoustic album and Before the storm is quite good.

Sorry yes I did see it, had a quick play, maybe a bit too country for me, I will try it again later if I remember. Talkng of country I came across The Handsome Family who are american folk/country group, thought they were quite good, Singing Bones or Through the Trees probably a good place to start.

Songs from Different Times is most unpluugged. Quite enjoying Jack Savoretti.

 Another one from the fantastic Iggy Pop radio show.

 Soko

 Go check her out *good*

 

Another good shout Rog... I featured her and the album Before we forgot how to dream, some time ago on my blog.... oh no I didn't! that was Soak lol! she's worth listening to too though.

 

See if anyone likes this:

The White Birch, The Weight of Spring

Soak...yass, brilliant talent and had forgotten about her. Need to have another listen. Solo is pretty cool tho. More sort of futuristic/electro folk. But I think it qualifies sort of.

Earlier in the year I discovered Reannan Giddens fantastic album Freedom Highway, having previously thought I wasn't keen on her first release, but today I can't stop playing it, Tomorrow Is My Turn

For those who like their Folk a bit edgier and different try a band called Boat To Row and their album I Found You Here

I was the opposite, I quite liked her first album but found her latest difficult, she has quite a distinctive voice, maybe on the first album it's not so prominant, Freedom Highway is a lot more striped down sound, it's also mostly originals. But yes quite different albums, I will try Freedom Highway again, maybe I need to play it a few times. A similar singer is Valerie June.

Must admit, it canbe be a bad habit of mine to dismiss an album to quickly, only to go back to it and find I really like it.

With that in mind I will try Valerie June again.

Interesting what you said about Reannan Giddens, I probably preferred Freedom Highway because it's more stripped back, but it is quite varied in tempo too.

Really like the track Waterboy off her first one.

Happy new year

I quite like reaannan giddens in some respects. Nice put together album.

Sorry I know it’s not the right thread but if anyone does tidal, check out the tidal playlist ‘classical relaxation’. Not usual classical relax stuff. It’s going from classical masters and unknown pieces of these masters like Debussy, saint sains, all the way to Ravi shankar and to max richter. It’s totally blowing my mind at the moment. Sorry that sounds really druggy. Lol.
