Nuggets 241 – C&W 11

Nuggets 241 - C&W 11

Making mixes is getting unnecessarily difficult. See the above cover for instance. The picture is warped to billio because the software I use, Nero, is playing up. Elsewhere my main PC had its new SSD drive fail, etc. etc. Grrrrr.

In a happier place the mixes are flowing, but just not to the web. Bingo Trappers are an excellent Dutch alt country band, Beachwood Sparks riff on that Flying Burrito Brothers sound while Dylan LeBlanc has a quiet turn of phrase that I find charming.  Courtney Barnett visited recently and by all reports she put on a good show. Mogwai are coming next year. You may recognise the Handsome Family track as it was featured in the True Detective TV series.

Sit close to the screen for a healthy dose of alt country. Take it away Calexico.

There should be a playable playlist below, or try this link.

Nuggets 251 – Troubadours 9

Nuggets 251 - troubadours 9 web

Men and women with guitars, or a harp, or just their voices.

I have almost finished Troubadours 10, and discovered that I haven’t posted number 9.

Here it is.

Sadly, it looks like Edwyn’s guitar playing days are over. He can still put a tune together. I love this song.

The link that follows leads to a playable playlist if one doesn’t appear below.
