Note: I made this list yesterday and it utterly failed after it grew too big. So I redid it in much smaller lists. They are really weekend lists. Mellow, lyrical, and somewhat bluesy, a mix between folks and blues. Imagine yourself sitting in a bus station somewhere in Nebraska with this tiny station speaker playing great ballad tracks. Serene but somewhat melancholic and distant. I’ll do the second part soon and you’ll see why I couldn’t put it together. Inside the list are MdM’s favorites albums, nothing strange about them. Enjoy.

    Dirt roads, rolling tumble weeds, dust flying about…all envisioned when I listen with my eyes closed.

    classic motel style? I need to do more folk and rock before I lose my remaining credibility, my posts been veering towards pop and electronic too much lately :P

    Is the “heavy trash” a reissue? I can’t really tell if the production sounds old or new… wait, nevermind I just read the wiki article. The sound of it reminds me a bit of the recent Robert Plant and Alison Kraus collaboration. Did you take a listen to it? It’s quite easy on the ears but I thought it was pretty good… think it would fit the Nebraska train station theme.

    yeah we really need to post some folks and rock. Tho’ I wasn’t feeling well enough to be in the mood for complicated 3 genres transition.

    anyway. no that’s new Heavy Trash albums. It has more novel recording tricks than their Self title one. (I like that a lot) I haven’t decide if I like their latest or not.

    I have to do a reset list. my posts aren’t as crisp as I want it.
