been listening to a lot of Pete Seeger, Woodie and Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Jesse Wells lately. Jesse is something else. i love it. Odetta and  Richie Havens are part of my rotation pretty frequently as well. didn't know about Father John Misty. checking him out now.

Jesse Welles is an interesting cat.

 

I see his videos and think he's too young to see things the way he does, but then I ask myself how old were Pete, Woodie, Bob, and so many more

He's 32 years old so he's been around a little while. Definitely enough to see some stuff that isn't right. 

Not sure if you've ever seen any of his earlier stuff with his old band. Dude could rock. Seems no matter what genre his music is in, he's always from an earlier one. Fits well with 90s grunge/alt stuff with his band and his solo stuff is definitely harkening back to late 50s-60s Seeger/Guthrie/Dylan stuff.

i watch these different tv shows with my kids all the way through. One of my daughters and i are on our second run through Bones and one of the episodes had one song being played and i said "that sounds like Patty Griffin" which it was. Such an incredible talent. Her debut record was one of the most memorable for me in the 90s. Probably that one and Jeff Buckley were the two i can remember the most listening to for the first time. Blown away from both. 

Patty Griffin's debut is a simple but incredibly passionate work of art. What is really cool was the story behind how it got released.

Patty Griffin’s story plays out like a real-life version of Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore, with Griffin taking the end of her marriage as a catalyst to pursue her dream of musical stardom. She sent a demo tape of just her and a guitar to A&M Records. Superproducer/Chic frontman Nile Rodgers loved it, but he was unsatisfied with all the attempts to clean it up for mass consumption. So in the end, he just went ahead and released Griffin’s demo tape unedited.

Nile Rodgers is not exactly a man who’s known for minimalism, so when he makes a decision like that, you know it means something. And he was exactly right. You can’t improve on a record that lands in your office already perfect. Living with Ghosts gets at what draws people to folk music. That age-old power of sitting in the same room with a musician around a hearth or campfire, nothing standing between you and the music.

Falling in Reverse. Ronald is such a banger! God is Weapon and All my Women are great too.

Just bought Jesse Wells' newest album. The kid is good, really good.
