Delete This Account Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Chris Knight: "The Trailer Tapes." sonafa ... here might well be the absolutely most under-rated albums to come out over the past 7 years. dag-um this is good. it's sparse and sad and just about every song is perfect. this album is essentially what Mellencamp always wanted to record, but failed. the lyrics are mean and angry, jumping out at you over the understated emphasis of a simple acoustic guitar. i happened upon Knight quite a while ago, and after sampling a few of his albums on itunes, i wound up taking a shot at this one. my god, this is good. it jumps genres, more rustic than country. but it's not folksy. it picks up a hillbilly trail that Steve Earle has well mined. "Rita's Only Fault," is something right down Earle's alley, or Mike Cooley's, or Isbell's. couldn't resist but recommend. this is a must have. jw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Rita's Only Fault," is a great song. I pictured Springsteen whilst listening to it, more so than Earle. All other tunes (so far) I hear a lot more Earle. He's a very good lyricist/storyteller.

bbb Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Grooveshark or youtube ... I listen with headphones while I'm working. I can do that when I really need to concentrate, which is more often than not.........When I don't need to as much, then I can listen to music. But, because that's not as often and I won't be able to listen enough to get to know the new music, I do tend to go to my old youtube playlists. Am I the norm in how I come to like music. Listen to it kind of in the background a number of times, before I get the "groove" in my head and then decide - Oh, I like that song, that one is OK, etc. Oddly, the songs that I've said that's a great one on the first time I ever listened did not turn out to be my favorites. It's the ones that more subtly got into my brain that did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the recommendation. wait until you get to "Hard Edges." i'm man enough to say that this song has made me tear up twice through. it's so desperate and yearning. as to bbb, for how do we find time to listen to all this music, well, you make time for what's important. and to me, music is important. and i keep searching for the good stuff. and i continue to uncover it. jw Edited July 9, 2013 by john wawrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrojanitor Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Overrated: Grizzly Bear. So obnoxious. I would ordinarily put Dave Matthews Band here, but I think we, as a society, have finally admitted they were nothing but unlistenable monkey garbage. Underrated: Crime & The City Solution. They put out a reunion album this year that just does not come off my turntable. this is probably what most people know them from: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrojanitor Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 i don't mind grizzly bear, nor do i mind his other project, department of eagles or rossen's solo stuff My girlfriend loves Grizzly Bear, but something about them really rubs me the wrong way. They're just too precious, too buttoned down. Just real bow tie music, as an old buddy used to say. Department of Eagles are decent though. Sound isnt really my bag, but i totally get it. Much more direct and urgent than GB, which I appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
