I got three Jacob Borshard albums for free off his website. I love Ukulele pop/folk music.

Awesome, i must check it out when they release it. Yeah i'm trying to decide which album to download next, You Brought Us Here and Flaxen seem to be the next choices. They're a really great band, some of their songs remind me of Slowdive.

I just got You Brought Us Here (from your link duga) and it's fantastic, I'll be checking out more Bethany Curve for sure. Listened to that album 3 times so far, quality stuff

A few I really should have got hold of a long time ago;

Martha Wainwright - I Know You're Married But I've Got Feelings Too

Rufus Wainwright - Release the Stars

Loretta Lynn - Van Lear Rose

That said, the Rufus Wainwright album's the one I'm confident is gonna be awesome. Looking forward to all three nonetheless.

Great album, even though the lyrics to "God Makes No Mistakes" annoy the shit out of me.

I can imagine

I remember having a look at the tracklisting for the first time, seeing that title and thinking it looked a bit dodgy. I'm fine with painfully preachy lyrics so long as the music backing it up's good enough, eg Dylan's Slow Train Coming, Chris Hillman's solo album and so on. From what I've heard about this album already, I'm thinking that's gonna be the case here. Just working my way up to a first listen via some Tift Merrit and Townes Van Zandt at the minute...

I'll be curious to hear your take on it, I think the music on that particular track is also some of the weakest on the album. The rest of the songs though are great and frequently have pretty good lyrics to boot. I'd say "Van Lear Rose" and "Story of My Life" are probably my favorite tracks.

I'll keep you posted in Albums You're Digging thread form

Also...

Townes Van Zandt - For the Sake Of the Song

Just realised about five minutes ago that I'm in dire need of more TVZ albums, so this one's on the dee-low.

From the band's website again.

Defiance, Ohio- Midwestern Minutes

I'm so excited.

Maps & Atlases - Perch Patchwork

Much less mathy than their 2 EPs but I'm enjoying it regardless, two listens so far.

Swingin' Utters - Brand New Lungs

Brand new 3-song 7". Nothing surprising, pretty much what you'd expect from them. Looking forward to the new album coming soon, and seeing them live in a few weeks.
