folk music

21 03 2009

i have been writing a ridiculous amount of songs this past week. most of these songs are written in the folk vein. weird. i didn’t really listen to much folk music before a couple of months ago. my good friend tyler lyle is an excellent songwriter living in carrollton, ga (at the moment). a month or two ago, tyler exposed me to the beautiful music of josh ritter. since then, i’ve been hooked on the folk stuff. there’s just a rawness/authenticity to it that i can’t get enough of.

word to your mother.





3 records i can’t live without (this week)

28 01 2009

i have had 3 albums on constant rotation this week on my ipod, and i figured that i should share them with all of you!

1. the killers- day and age. *one of the most creative rock albums i’ve heard in a while. quite funky.

2. kings of leon- only by the night. *they are effortlessly modern. and timeless. a seamless combination of indie and their southern roots. great vocals.

3. jon foreman- spring ep. *it reminds me that spring is coming. beautifully simple.

what are three albums that you are stuck on right now?
