I don't even know if there is a band like this, but so far my searches have been inconclusive.

IDK if this is what you mean, but for the most part sludge metal bands combine the sabbath sound with country/ southern rock sound.

Those Down and CoC tracks are definitely in the right direction. And awesome.

Anyway, I'll drop the matter and stop mucking up ya'lls folk thread with metal. Move along, nothing to see here. ;-)

I actually found a great avant-folk artist named Mister Salmon. He has only released one album which is called Mister Salmon ...in Yorkshirama (2010). It took around ten years to complete, and uses well-written lyrics combined with many different instruments (both acoustic and electronic). It really is an interesting album, but the only problem is it can only be listened to on last.fm (there isn't a mediafire for it).

Mister Salmon thanks you for your positive remarks, Jack Pat.
You're right about his album taking 10 years to make... at least. You can find info at
www[DOT]mistersalmon[DOT]com
You can hear the whole album for free at mistersalmon[DOT]bandcamp[DOT]com
You can download it for the price of a few beers. Ten years' work should be worth that, no?

The CD is expensive in the US, but that's the fault of mad import duties. If anyone really wants it, contact the artist at the address on the official site (go to LINKS), and he'll probably send it for the uk price + postage.

You're right. I should really be supporting musicians more.

Mister Salmon is not sure where to stand on the music "sharing" issue. Admission: he's nicked a fair bit in his time, between the days of cassette and the age of mp3, so he might "deserve" to be nicked himself (thinks: but only by Sony, Warner, etc... Oh, the moral dilemmas!)

Thanks for sharing your interest in his music, though! Keeping track of it in cyberspace means I have discovered this interesting forum.

I remember when this thread wasn't filled with hipster non-sense.
