Steve Earle: El Corazon

Quote:

Though Earle’s prodigious run of essential albums has shown recent signs of coming to a halt, the man’s post-prison artistic production is nothing short of legendary. Earle’s songwriting talent has cast him variously as a bluegrass traditionalist, political activist, and confessional troubadour of worthy of Blood on the Tracks-era Dylan. Though any one Earle’s remarkable albums could justifiably be included on the list, El Corazon offers the best view of his scope as a musician. The political conscious is there on “Christmas in Washington,” and Earle offers pure country gems such as “The Other Side of Town” and “Fort Worth Blues,” but the real power of El Corazon is in the collaboration. Earle pairs with artists as diverse Seattle’s Supersuckers and legendary bluegrass artist Del McCoury on songs that show the vitality and diversity of the alt-country genre.

For theuglyorgan:

Whiskeytown - Stranger's Almanac (1997)

This is a wonderful alternative country album which actually became one of my favorites. I don't believe there's a bad track on this offering, a wonderful piece with gorgeous lyrics, superb vocal delivery, and wonderful instrumentation. Ryan Adams is a spectacular songwriter, and I sincerely hope that you enjoy this album.

Could anybody send me a math rock album that would be a good introduction to the genre?

I believe this is a good introduction to math rock

Don Caballero - Don Caballero 2 (1995)

Enjoy!

Could someone send something classic rock-ish my way? Doesn't have to necessarily be from like, the sixties and seventies but hopefully you know what I'm getting at.

Thanks! I just downloaded it, so I'll give my opinion on it in a day or two.

I'm game for anything outside of what I usually listen to (Rap, Metal, and some Bhangra on the side). Don't try to go by my last.fm since I just started using it after switching from Pandora and am still updating it.

I'll trade you. I'm game for some Bhangra since I know basically nothing about it.
