What Are You Listening To?

[Ruby]

^You're obviously listening to his catalogue - maybe mentioned that somewhere and I've missed it. I will have a listen. 



Meanwhile, I've listening to Gregory Alan Isakov's Appaloosa Bones, which MH listened to and posted in 2023 when it was released, I see. And then I discovered that he was born here, in Jozi. Huh! Emigrated with parents a long time ago. I like this album - tastefully done, I think. He's an Indie artist - working hard doing tours, etc. Sounds a little like Fleet Foxes in places and a tad bit like David Gray (early) sometimes too - I dunno. Difficult to peg a perfect sounds like - suffice to say singer/songwriter with folk/Americana leanings - largely acoustic (this album) with properly matched instruments, for voice and style - lovely sounds. Very connected to the earth, which makes sense as he is also a small scale farmer - organic produce. Nice. I'm going to listen to Evening Machines next, which gets good press and is on Glen Phillips's (Toad the Wet Sprocket) list of 5 albums he can't live without. Not so sure about that list, but glad that it pointed me in this direction! Fab album cover too ... suitably bucolic ... 



Now - from Appaloosa Bones, I'm choosing "Silver Bell" because I am hearing silver in the music too (not least Hi Ho! LOL!) - fanciful, but that's how I roll   ...
