So often musicians claim to play the blues, but often it comes across as being nothing more than a weak attempt, lacking any type ...

The Wooden Sky

The Wooden Sky

Grace On A Hill (Parts 1-5) I came across this five-part music video/short narrative by a band from Toronto called "The Wooden Sky." What really impressed me is that it's filmed more in the style of a short film, as opposed to the overproduced, special effect laden videos that have plagued and ultimately destroyed the music ...

Langhorne Slim

Wow! I downloaded an album called The Way We Move by Langhorne Slim a few months back, but just listened to the entire thing this evening. What a really great album from start to finish. Great acoustic tracks, accompanied by a honky-tonk piano, stand up bass, banjo,horns and well-crafted songs by singer/songwriter Langhorne Slim. Apparently, they’ve been around for quite some time but are just recently beginning to make waves after their latest release. Based out of Langhorne, PA, Langhorne Slim is without a doubt one of those bands to watch. It’s been quite awhile since I immediately loved an album and enjoyed each and every song the way I did with this one. Time for me to dig deeper and start diving into some of their other stuff.
