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.

Allen Toussaint - Life, Love, And Faith



In honor of the Black and Gold Super Bowl here's some New Orleans funk. If "Goin Down" doesn't get you groovin, go to the doctor.

Lack Of Afro - My Groove Your Move




Upbeat, feel good electronic funk. If you can get over the two hip-hop songs this is a really good album.
