The Fox Hunt and more

During the last few days I’ve been totally addicted to a country and bluegrass group called The Fox Hunt. All I need is banjo & fiddle & beautiful harmonies. Just fantastic country songs. A new album out apparently soon and I’m definitely going to buy it. I’ve been also trying to find their earlier album Nowhere Bound. I did order it from cdbaby but I’m not sure can they still get it because it was backordered. I hope they can, because those two old songs from that album on their myspace are also marvellous. Oh why it’s always so difficult to find the albums you would love (I’m still looking that Lenny & The Piss Poor Boys album as well).

I probably should change the title of this blog to POP & COUNTRY blog, because all I seem to listen to it country music. Today I ordered Tim Barry’s new album and Have Gun Will Travel’s second album from Suburban Home/Vinyl Collective. Besides that I’ve been also enjoying the music of Kasey Anderson, Micah Schnabel, The Takers, Prison Book Club… and the list of records to buy just keeps on growing and growing.. and I’m also waiting for the new Jason & The Scorchers album.

Timothy Seth Avett as Darling

Great news for The Avett Brothers fans. Timothy Seth Avett’s three solo albums are now available. Well have been since the beginning of january, but I’ve been too busy compiling that albums of the year list. Anyway, today I finally spent a lot of time listening to the five videos that are on his website and ordered two of these records he released under the name Darling (I will eventually order the first one as well). I especially fell in love with this heartwarmingly beautiful song called In Your Light.

Austin Lucas

Austin Lucas’ latest country album is a really late entry to my upcoming albums of the year list and I think it will claim a really high spot on that list. I’m just completely addicted to his album Somebody Loves You eventhough I don’t even own a copy yet (one can listen to it on spotify or stream it on the label’s (Suburban Home) website). I’m definitely going to order it asap. Here’s a wonderful sample.

Oh and that list? Well it will definitely go until early next week before it’s finished, because I was again away from Turku for five days. Maybe I’ll do some sort of countdown starting on sunday / monday or thereabouts.
