*click for a listen*

Genre: Alt Folk
This album isn't great, but a couple of songs elevate it. First song sounds very Alison Krauss and the second is like older Black Keys. Then the middle of the album is a bit forgettable, but makes nice background music. Picks up again with a fairly good rendition of a Pumpkins song, Disarm and finishes strong with the last few songs.

Why isn't Depp wearing several bracelets?

I wouldn't mind hearing the entire album, but the song you chose didn't do much for me and I dig folky stuff.

That was the one I thought sounded like Krauss. Here's the one I think sounds more like earlier Black Keys:

^This I adore. Almost sounds like a prison spiritual. The vocals certainly shine on this track and damned if the lyrics aren't emotional.

Thanks Stark. Good stuff.

Watching NFL Super Bowl related stuff while doing my taxes today prompted me to listen to two Sir Mix-A-Lot albums today: SWAS and Seminar.

Little bit of oldschool stuff, some Maiden, some Angel Wytch, little bit of Dio and Sabbath.

Lead to a very awkward conversation with someone about Maiden. They recognized the song, couldn't name it. They were trying to figure out the name of the band, and I told them, and then the conversation went on to be about "that old rock band with the zombies on their CD covers."

Currently addicted to:

The pic is a link.

The track's currently free from Google Play for the first week of its release.

Don't remember the original and this is the only Lana Del Ray song I'm genuinely aware of (where I know it's her) so I don't really have a basis for comparison as a cover of the original or as a Lana Del Ray song.

But it's so somber and dark sounding.
