Buddy Guy & Junior Wells (early 70s live tracks especially), Elmore James, Jimmy Reed, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, R. Axiom of Choice-Unfolding & Niya Yesh albums-middle eastern-check out the polyrhythmic drums & soaring female vocals on these uplifting wolrd tracks Peter Gabriel-Big Blue Ball-good world beat & Up is good Grateful Dead-studio: American Beauty & Workingman's Dead, live: vault releases early 70s and late 80s - early 90s Mike Gordon-Green Sparrow album is my fave, also 2 with the god, Leo Kottke Viva Voce (maybe doesn't count-another PDX band, 2 piece, groove albums, rockin' live) Grant Lee Phillips-Virginia Creeper album - ditto Grant Lee Buffalo-Mighty Joe Moon album - just listen, this is SO fuckin' good George Harrison-All Things Must Pass album Very laid back 60s & 70s-reminiscent soulful poppy rock jams. Fans of 'Black River Killer' would do well to check out the album "Medicinals"ĭr Dog-Quite like the band Spike above mentioned, the Moondoogies. Timber Timbre-Dark, stark, backwoods folk. Their songs aren't reliant on the noise, either, and stand just as well stripped down to acoustic instruments, as you can see (hear?) here: What it really is.is thick with sounds.songs jam packed with everything including the kitchen sink, in a way that probably *should* be overwhelming, but isn't. Menomena-I guess we'll call it indie rock, as a catch-all. Mt St Helens Vietnam Band-If you dig the more frantic frezied off-kilter rock that BT throws down, you definitely need to give these guys a listen. I dug these guys from first listen, but after I saw them last year.holy crap. The Whigs-Amazing garage rock trio from Georgia. The Black Keys-Dirty blues-rock that should definitely appeal to the funky southern-rock that crops up here and there in Trapperland. The Bees-From the UK, they've got kind of a 60s folk-tinged psychedelic pop sound (some places in the US you'll have to look them up under 'Band of Bees', as a US band called 'The Bees'-who've now changed to 'The Silver Seas' existed when they tried to start releasing their music over here) Really fantastic songs that draw from a lot of different kinds of Americana sounds. The Cave Singers-They kind of inhabit a middle ground between the Foxes and the Trappers. A whole lot folkier, obviously, but I think there's a similar spirit to the music. Great topic, Spike! Good call on The Moondoggies, they're fantastic.įleet Foxes-Just in case anyone hasn't given them a listen yet.
