Americana

You know what? I love bandom. I love scene bands and punks and tiny emo boys.

But I love other things too.

This morning I have been listening to my other great musical love: Americana. By which I mean that lovely fusion of bluegrass, country and folk that groups like Calexico and Iron and Wine do so beautifully. It's the sort of sleepy music you would listen to in a tiny bar while you nursed your broken heart over a beer in some nameless midwestern town.  The music you'd play as you drove away from your life in the failing light of day. If you lived in a tiny cabin in Maine.

It is so amazing.

So here are my favourites. I call it my 'broken hearted in maine mix'.
  1.  Love and Some Verses - Iron and Wine
  2. Your Rocky Spine- The Great Lake Swimmers
  3. All The Trees of The Field Will Clap Their Hands- Sufjan Stevens
  4. Antarctica- The Weepies
  5. Beauty and The Mess- Nickel Creek
  6. Reservoir- Hem
  7. Winter- eastmountainsouth
