Tim Barry

"Church of Level Track"

Rather lengthy intro, but if you want you can skip to 1:42 when the actual song starts. Let me know what you think of this guy, I'm grabbing the album right now, if you're interested shoot me a PM.

Be expecting periodic PM's from me with links to where you can get albums.

I never said it's my favorite, but being that it's the only album I've heard from them, I guess it's only natural that it's my favorite by them so far. I don't know if you've been to South Carolina lately but it's really not a good place for diversity in music and the independent music shops are nonexistent for miles.

That's the joy of the Internet, it's like one gigantic independent music shop, you just gotta know where to look.

If you're interested I have their 2nd LP uploaded and can send you a link if you so desire.

16 horsepower is amazing. I have Sackcloth 'N' Ashes, and have been playing it repeatedly for a while.

LoathsomePete · 03-28-2009, 05:38 PM

Sack 'n' Cloth was very good, if you're interested I can shoot you their 2002 release "Folklore" either later on this evening or tomorrow. I'm kind of doing some work at home right now which requires internet and when I upload it slows my net down to an unusable level.

You don't have to do that. I am already obtaining Low Estate so I will be good with that for awhile. Plus, I can get their albums easily.

I found this awesome group over the weekend, Spanish sounding country music. I was hoping to find a video but was unable to locate one. However here is a link to their last.fm with their best song.

...and I love it. I found the band Blanche, and the sound was incredible. It was haunting, yet beautiful.

Now I can't get enough of this stuff. They say it's a new sound.... but if you listen to the elders of classic country you will hear the foundations set. Nevertheless, the bands who have expanded this sound and made it thier own, have created a sound that is purely, American. Thus Americana. The darkness in the stories, the plots of the songs are, indeed, Gothic.

In short, I have found faith once again in American music. For the longest time, I was becoming more, and more, disenchanted with music.

No offense to those who love todays country music...but it reeks of corporate influence, it's just too "pop" for me.

I believe Gothic Americana is an evolution of the "roots" of country.

Just my opinion.

Don't worry. I am pretty sure that most of the people in this thread hate modern country. I despise it.
