Ben! (Boo!)

Last night I listened to two Vic Chesnutt albums and then the first thing I did when waking up this morning was putting another on. Truly one of the most unique songwriters and singers of his era, I've been a fan since I was a teenager thanks to the endorsement of REM but now feel the need to add most of his discography to my master playlist.

Paul Plut – Lieder vom Tanzen und Sterben (2017, Austria)

Our next spotlight is a wonderful guest post written by Urban (aka @Banur) on number 98 on The List, also submitted by Urban. This is the debut solo album from Plut, and, as Urban writes, "is a beautiful dark folksy album that found a niche for him and itself in the diverse Austrian music scene."

FFO: Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, sad music
(CW: As mentioned in the spotlight, some lyrics deal with suicide and death)

"I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" is a song by the Los Angeles #folkRock band the Byrds, first released in June 1965 on the #Bside of the band's second single, "#AllIReallyWantToDo". Despite initially being released as a B-side, the song managed to chart in its own right in the U.S., just outside the Billboard Hot 100. It was also included on the Byrds' debut album, #MrTambourineMan and #TheByrdsGreatestHits. The song was written by band member #GeneClark.

I've been listening to #CarbonLeaf for years and years...and just now discovered they have an official artist channel with an appallingly low 9,000 subscribers.

They're an extraordinarily talented #indie #folkrock #music group that I first heard “Life Less Ordinary” 20 years ago, and they did “The Friendship Song” from Curious George 2.

And Paloma. And Gray Sky Eyes… What about everything? Give 'em a listen!

𝗥𝗼𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘇 - 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁 - 𝟭𝟵𝟳𝟬
En mars 1970 sortait 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁, le premier album de 𝗥𝗼𝗱𝗿𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘇, un chanteur et compositeur américain au destin aussi fascinant qu’injuste. À sa sortie, l’album passe presque inaperçu aux États-Unis et en Europe, sans rencontrer le succès qu’il méritait.
