Introduce an artist

Post by LetMeSleep »

A couple of years ago I made Stip a few short mixes of artists that I thought he may be interested in hearing. I limited them to 30 mins so it was a rather brief glimpse into a catalogue. I remembered them when reading Trag's tourney suggestion. I'd always intended on creating a thread but was too lazy to do so.

These artists shouldn't need an introduction but some people may miss catching an artist. Nick Cave was the next one I was to do for Stip as I truly believe Stip would fall for his music. I also did a Jayhawks one but I can't find it.

Paul Kelly

Australian singer songwriter who has a knack for getting to the heart of a character very quickly. This mix is relationship focused.

When I First Met Your Ma
Winter Coat
To Her Door
How To Make Gravy
If I Could Start Today Again

Steve Earle

I tried to focus on his storytelling and activism. 30 mins is a short time.

Billy Austin
Ben McCulloch
Taneytown
Lonelier Than This (excuse spelling error in mix)
John Walker's Blues

Ron Sexsmith

Steve Earle is fantastic. I think we even have a thread for him. Galway Girl has been popping up on my playlist a lot lately.

I'll refer everyone to my William Onyeabor thread, which went over like a lead zeppelin.

Wow, I KNEW I recognized that band name from somewhere! I remember listening to them back around 2001 bc of Blake's influence on Binaural

That track with Steve's Last Ramble is a great 1-2. Transcendental Blues had some top stuff.

I checked out those Latin Playboys videos you posted, Trag, since your description made it sound like it could be pretty interesting. I can't abide the singing, though. Musically speaking, it was pretty good, especially the first couple minutes of the second song where they had a bit of a Tortoise/math rock vibe going on.
