No bad albums in his catalogue Pobody. I have been banging on to all and sundry for a couple of months now as to how good this bloke is. I slipped the same clip into my journal http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...tml#post562686.

Also a live revue. http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...tml#post608397

There is another 2 album's that I found that he was a contributor to, Hellwood and a Soundtrack Searching For The Wrong Eyed Jesus. They are on that link I sent you.

I said it in the journal and I will say it again and again. Wrong Eyed Jesus (Mysterious Tale Of How I Shouted), his debut is one of the best albums I have heard from the Americana genre and one of the best album I have ever heard period. All of the next three album also have some fantastic songs. The album that really creeps up is Drill A Hole In The Substrate And Tell Me What You See.

How this bloke is a lessor known artiste even among those with a more independent bent is a mystery to me.

Happy listening.

For those who are not aware of this growing trend it's essentially country music that's taken a far more rustic approach to country music and the songwriting has taken a more dark tone. Songs about murder, abuse, alcoholism, and tragedy often make up the song matter. It's a very immursive genre of music, you put on the album and it really stays with you. The best part is that it completely ignores all aspects of what makes up the popular country today (Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, Ryan Adams, etc.) and just does its own thing. Highly recommend looking into this genre if you're interesting in country music. I'll put a list of bands with a link to their last.fm or myspace account at the bottom of this post. I want both the good and the negative feedback, but if you're going to post negative feedback just please make it smart with some idea of what you're talking about, not just "country music is teh suxorz".

edit: I would post links to sites but apparently I'm not allowed to because I haven't made 15 posts, so instead I'm just going to list off some of my favourite bands.

Elliott BROOD
Munly & the Lee Lewis Harlots
Those Poor Bastards
O'Death
Pinebox Serenade

So, that's the only one I've heard and I LOVE them. Just recently discovered them and couldn't stop listening to Head Home for awhile. Nice thread.

I'm a little taken back that "Head Home" is your favourite O'Death album. Everyone I know who has listened to both has unanimously agree that "Broken Hymns, Limbs, and Skin" is the stronger, more accessible album. The vocalist's voice on "Head Home" was a little too much like a cat being garroted for me, however it did have some good tracks on it. Be expecting periodic PM's from me with links to where you can get albums.
