I'll second the recommendation for the Great Lake Swimmers, especially their older recordings. Also check out The Low Anthem. Listening to Pandora will also provide many, many more similar artists.
Cowboy Junkies junky needs to expand
Hey there 'Goners
H, my name is Andrew and I'm a Junkies-aholic. I need a little support from the group if you could be so kind. As a confirmed though never-to-recover Cowboy Junkies fan, I too often find the CJ's playing. My GF is gonna hijack my CD's and my iPod soon and do a little shuffling of her own. Without the thread going too far off course or getting too far from my professed comfort zone, any suggestions on expanding my musical horizons?
Thanks much!

I'll second the Over the Rhine recommendation - get the "Ohio" album (available on vinyl from their website) you won't regret it! Absolutely..."Ohio" is great. Also by them, if you can find it (some used copies are at the link), "Good Dog, Bad Dog" is outstanding! |
Hey Goners Thanks so much for the response. Keep em coming. Gonna get into a deep sample session this weekend and discover. Sorry to not clarify from the get-go. I do listen to Pandora and many of your suggestions of artist validate my good taste in music J. Also great sources . Radio Paradise Bluebeat My close seconds heavily rotated as well are: Crooked Still The Be Good Tanyas (agree MUCH better than the not bad themselves Po Girl) Emmy Lou Norah Neko Gillian Oh, and then theres the guy side of things. M Ward (fave of the male artists) Lee Harvey Osmond (on Latent Records, Junkies home-grown label) Iron & Wine I guess I like my music a little on the dark side. Deep as a well, richly layered, complex while simple in musicality and of course distinct in its vocals. When I listen, its usually later in the day into the night so this genre suits me. Mix in a bit of new and classic jazz too. Prior to this, Ive got a whole other set of playlists for say ..driving .cooking eating .working .etc. Buts thats a whole nother thread or threads. Thanks again!!!!!! PS ..forgot to mention ABBA. Thanks much Mtl10425. Glad you are a big fan too. They are just so awesome .the end all of music. I kicked myself for forgetting about them. Gonna go get some right now and put it on. |
