Looking for a good blend of soul and folk (not Van Morrison).

They said they were next going to play some concerts in Spain and the U.S. so maybe they are on their way to your neighborhood soon.

^ This band has a lot going for it; sexy instruments and acoustic women.

D'Gary is a guitarist from Madagascar who plays with intricate delicacy or super-fast when he wants to. Here he keeps it restrained to let his charming vocalist shine:-

I am not sure if this belongs here...
Can you suggest anything similar to this ?

Welcome to MB, v2gls

I listened to a couple of tracks from the album you recommend - my first impression is that it's not so much country/folk as a kind of indie/pop, so you could look there for something similar. But please don't imagine that I'm chasing you out of this section! Any contributions are welcome here, perhaps even my own, which is the 1999 album, Skanzen by Hungarian band Makám:-

Just listened to interstate open space......by Birch Street Band , it's gotta go somewhere. Out this Friday but how does this get on the radar? Love it

Not sure it's the right thread, but there's yodeling and a generally folkloristic vibe.
Pretty insane and hilarious stuff.

Unclassifiable. A new wrinkle in country-rock.
