Essentials Sneak Peak – J. Tillman

Filed in Essentials Series , Live , Ramblings , Singer Songwriter 4 comments

Just received my DVD of “Isle Land”, the 4 track DVD EP from J. Tillman.  Dark, acoustic and perfect.  So then, I just had to put a sneak peak on the Essentials Series next “victim”.

J. Tillman is most likely my “favourite” artist.  This is what I may say if found strapped to a chair, my feet placed in a pool of tepid water and had some sort of car battery jumper cables coming towards me.  Well, I might be convinced to admit this without the drama, just was looking to paint a mental picture…

Enjoy your Sunday with the KEXP performance of “Master’s House” from a while ago that ended up being on this month’s release of “Vacilando Territory Blues” from Western Vinyl.

Never heard of him before, but I like it. Reminds me a bit of Jason Molina in his intonation. It’s difficult to carry a song as stripped down as this without some serious talent.

Will have to check out more. Cheers.

Can’t wait for the CD to arrive either (no battery jumper cables are necessary…).

I got to see him in Paris when I was there for work. Played solo, in a pin-drop quiet theatre. Was unreal.

@ Gearoid – you have to get into him, you will not know what you did before!

@ Oded – I guess I should order my physical copy as well, I have at least the physical CD for all his releases.

@ Herohill – you bastard! I so envy you, that is the best way to hear J. Tillman, in a venue that is soo quiet you can hear the subtle and quiet parts – makes it that much more powerful. You da man.
