@slaw, @bslon, i also like kurt vile alot, particularly earlier stuff like "smoke ring" and "pretty daze"--he sounds like he smokes too much weed, but the guy is a natural. the country ep he did w/john prine (rip), "speed, sound, lonely" is alsosurprisingly great. for some reason, though, i can't get into war on drugs, who everybody else seems to rave about--too clean and soulless.
@waltersalas, good to find another windbreakers fan (there's about 12 of us). check out bobby sutliff's covers album, allsorts--he does a killer nick drake.
two quick picks for the bold:
crippled pilgrims, under water
dirk hamilton, meet me at the crux
