I'm working on it!
I realize I have a few albums whose links have expired. I'm slowly fixing them. I'm gonna start with the oldest posts and work my way up. Might take a bit.

Loudon Wainwright III - Album III
Loudon's 1972 breakthrough album. It sounds just like the cover would lead you to think it would. You'll like it.

Eric Clapton - Unplugged
Even though everybody and their Mom already has this, I just had to post it. Running on Faith and Alberta are absolute perfection. Chuck Leavell is a piano god.

Let's try this again. If you didn't get this the first time I posted it, for the love of God get it now. AMAZING!

The Grateful Dead - Reckoning
A live acoustic album taken from the fall 1980 tour. One of my favorite Dead albums for sure. Listen to Dire Wolf and It Must Have Been The Roses and you'll see why.

Joe Purdy - Take My Blanket And Go
I really like the feel of this album. It's got a chill yet powerful thing going on, if that makes any sense.

Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session
Classic 1988 album, recorded in Ontario's Church of the Holy Trinity, using only one microphone. After touring the Southern USA, they were inspired to cut an album of old country and gospel songs, and record live and direct to tape. Their cover of The Velvet Underground's Sweet Jane is just simply sublime. This is about as chill as it gets.

John Prine - Sweet Revenge
After my last post I realized that was the only John Prine album I had put up, so here's my favorite. How badass is that cover photo?!?!
John Prine - Lost Dogs + Mixed Blessings
Great album from later in his career. The songwriting, of course, is amazing. Hats off to Duckbutter for the rec.
Slackwax - Midnight EP
****LINK FIXED****
A very interesting downtempo album, with some killer beats. Canned Heat covers are always welcome.

Will Bernard
Modern jazz guitar at it's best. Here are his two latest albums. Blue Plate Special is a stripped down album with Stanton Moore on drums, John Medeski on keys, and Andy Hess (Gov't Mule) on bass. Party Hats was nominated for a Grammy when it came out in 2008 and features horns throughout and in my opinion a more polished sound.

Neil Young & Crazyhorse - Live at the Fillmore East
In case you don't have this. A flawless recording of Crazyhorse at the top of their game. Taken from their 1970 tour, which would be the last with guitarist Danny Whitten. One of the greatest guitar players of all time in my opinion.

Dr. John
Two classics from a Louisiana legend. Dr. John's Gumbo is basically a New Orleans tribute album filled with classic Nola songs. In The Right Place has The Meters as the backing band and is voodoo funk at it's best. If you don't have either of these, DO IT NOW!

Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Funtown Comedown
Bonnie got together with bluegrass band The Pickett Line and recorded this album live in the studio. It's bluegrass versions of his solo songs and a Merle cover too. My favorite thing he's done besides Greatest Palace Music.

Vetiver - Thing Of The Past
A collection of covers that Vetiver considers to be big influences on their lives and music. Covered artists include Townes Van Zandt, Bobby Charles, and Loudon Wainwright III among others. I also included a companion EP of covers as well. Both are very good. Enjoy!

Neil Young - Time Fades Away
Long out of print on vinyl and never released on CD, this live album from Neil's 1973 tour is still regarded by fans as one of his best releases ever. I have to agree.

Bobby Charles - Self Titled
A Louisiana native, Bobby wrote songs for the likes of Fats Domino ("Walkin To New Orleans"), Bill Haley ("See You Later Alligator"), and Clarence Frogman Henry ("I Don't Know Why But I Do"). He was later asked to join The Band for their legendary Last Waltz farewell concert where he performed "Down South In New Orleans". Bobby just recently passed away in his hometown of Abbeville, LA. Here is his self titled album with all the members of The Band (minus Robby) and Dr. John as back up. Hats off to a Louisiana legend.
