I still get two music magazines every month Mojo and uncut like I have for the last decade or more .I tend to mainly read the articles these days as there seems to be very little new that appears that really grabs me by the horns and makes me want to run out and listen to it but this one album has caught my eye in its reviews in this months Mojo and uncut it is a solo album from Steve Gunn , he has in the past been a member of kurt Vile’s backing band an artist who’s work I have enjoyed .So i download onto my phone via spotify his album way out weather and am loving it , a mellow mournful album of blues songs .
What albums and singers have you enjoyed recently ?
Nice pickin’ style. I hear the John Fahey in it. Sweet music. Hmmm, Steve Gunn — well thanks for the tip on this singer.
Fahey is one of artist he admires I believe
Good song there. My favorite album this year has been Southeastern by Jason Isbell who used to be one of the Drive-By Truckers, but this album is a lot different than their stuff. You can find it on Spotify.
My favorite song on Southeastern is ‘Traveling Alone’
