Twilight Hotel -
When The Wolves Go Blind (2011)
Easily one of my favorite albums of 2011, and currently my favorite Americana, at least until the new William Elliott Whitmore comes out next week. Besides Americana, the pairing of Brandy Zdan and Dave Quanbury manage to mix pop, folk, and bluegrass together and filter it through a kind of scratchy and vintage guitar tone. Definitely something I think a lot of the members here could get into.
