Geri X – Another Friday Discovery
So here is a “Friday Discovery” for all ya out there. I can honestly say that I just discovered Geri X for myself and have been listening for the entire evening now (it’s Thursday night as I write this). Geri X can be described ultimately as “Folk” music. This isn’t enough, just one word, she…

Deer Tick – War Elephant (re-issue)
So just a quick one today as I am just on the go (or something along those lines) and I apologize for not giving this release the full attention and praise it should get. The Album is “War Elephant” from Deer Tick, a great release from last year that was just re-released 2 days ago…

Frontier Ruckus – The Tower
So I tend to obsess on artists I like, Frontier Ruckus being one of them. Just so everyone knows, there was a lot of life prior to the latest release “The Orion Songbook”. I most recently took a revisit to the first EP “I Am The Water You Are Pumping” when looking forward to the…

We/Or/Me – Ghostwriter EP and other gems
I have an EP that you should want to buy. No, scratch that, I have an EP that you will buy. I know this because if you are here, you are clearly a connoisseur of all things quality. You will have no other choice to fork over your hard earned (or not so hard earned)…

Slowcoustic Song of the Week
Just so everyone knows that I now have a song of the week, and folks this is it. I have recently picked up the Callers Album “Fortune” that was released this past August and fully missed them if it weren’t for my Western Vinly playlist. The more I listen, the more I enjoy this album. …

Dustin Gamble
So in lead up to J. Tillman’s new album being released tomorrow (wow, I think I must have a man crush on Josh, due to the last few posts…), I have a bit of a “J. Tillman in the making” in Dustin Gamble for your listening pleasure today. I stumbled across Dustin’s MySpace profile while…

A Western Vinyl Playlist
Sorry for no post yesterday, but I have a big one today (and inspired by yesterday and no posting…). Well yesterday I received an advance copy of the new J. Tillman – Vacilando Territory Blues from an online friend. This led me to immediately start an all encompassing listening fest of my own. So, I…

Auld Lang Syne
Auld Lang Syne can be a bit of a raucous band for the Slowcoustic regulars, but sometimes some of the best toned down music comes from more up tempo artists, simply at 3/4 speed. If you think of the classic Auld Lang Syne (the New Year’s eve song after which they are named), they would…

Frontier Ruckus – The Orion Songbook (2008)
I have been trying to hold back on this post for a couple of weeks until it was closer to the album’s release (I don’t know why), but I have to post already! So here we have Frontier Ruckus’ first full length album and it has been well worth the wait. Spectacular down home traditional…

Twin Cats – Up North (2008)
Some Monday listening for y’all today in the form of Joseph Murphy’s “Twin Cats“. While Murphy is not new to creating and performing music, this is a bit of a new project for Murphy. “Up North” as an album feels and listens like a transition to something new, a beginning of Twin Cats itself (both…

Jason Anderson – Life Sucks Love Sucks Dose Out
Just a quick one today for you Sunday Bloggin’ folks. This one is quick, but worth stopping and listening to. I have been a bit of a fan of Jason Anderson (or Wolf Colonel at one point) for previous albums such as “The Wreath” in 2005 and “Tonight” in 2007 released on K Records. Anderson…
