  • Del Barber – “Where the City Ends”

    Okay I am not going to lie to you here…I am partial to Del Barber.  I have never met Del, or even spoken to him face to face, but alas I got this guys back.  Why you ask?  He is a good old ‘pegger! For those of you who are unaware of the term “pegger”,…

  • If You Haven’t Heard – Ghosts I’ve Met

    Well here we are at the 3rd installment of “If You Haven’t Heard” and I have some beautiful Americana ballads from “Ghosts I’ve Met”.  So put down your whiskey and grab the one that you want to hang onto and press play, you won’t be disappointed. Sam Watts is the heart of this “rotating cast”…

  • Blackwood Hymnal has left us too soon…

    So I am sure you can figure out from the title of this post that this group had perished in a fiery tour bus crash in 2001…okay not really, they just have moved on to other things and are no longer recording.  Seriously though, was that last line not a start for an incredible blog…

  • Campo Bravo — “Goodbye, Oklahoma”

    So digging through my CDs the other day in order to find a CD that was not in it’s case (and still outstanding!), I re-found Campo Bravo’s 2006 release “Goodbye, Oklahoma”. I proceeded to give it a spin and remembered why I purchased in the first place.  Good solid Americana.  From what I can gather…

  • Just couldn’t resist – Horse Feathers

    Regardless of saying I was not going to post these next few days, I had to share a track from Horse Feathers.  I have chosen this track as it might just be the best track on the new album, but you won’t realize until you listen to it many times.  Not traditional HF, but it…

  • If You Haven’t Heard – Blackbird Harmony

    So I am going to try and start a new feature here on the ol’ website/blog space, and I am thinking of calling it “If you haven’t heard”.  The title of the weekly installment will be followed by a band or artist name of the featured talent — not unlike the title of this post.…

  • Oweihops dual post starts here (or ends here…)

    Hello Slowcoustic readers!  I wanted to post today to advise of a fairly recent update to my blogging persona — my dual personality! Okay that sounds dramatic, but I wanted to do a dual post with my other blogging life over on the You Crazy Dreamers Blog.  Yes, it is true, I cheat on my…

  • Woodpigeon’s New Album is out! Summer it is my friends, summer it is.

    So I thought I would post on some great summer sounds that I just picked up from a band that I ironically enough, don’t know enough about.  The band is Woodpigeon who just so happen to be from the very city I currently live in!  I KNOW.  I had heard of them prior to listening…
