Subterranean Homesick Album Club

I suppose I could start one up since no one is willing to (even though I am already running the Indie/Alternative one). I need to make a new thread, however, so I can have the original post's spot to edit and have as a schedule-setter.

Okay, cool. My nomination is
Langhorne Slim - S/T (2008)

Fairly traditional country-folk album, with a sense of bitter humour thrown in. Nothing really experimental, but a great album featuring just A Guy, A guitar, and a moustache. Most of the songs are optimistic ballads about getting through struggle etc. Uplifting without being preachy.

The lack of interest in this thread is a bit disappointing, kind of indicative of the Folk forum as a whole.

Yeah, perhaps it`s time to close the current poll and announce the album of the week. I imagine that would go to Conan`s choice as the earliest-posted album to score two votes.

What do the rest of the "club members" think ?

Just saw this thread, and I'm definitely down. Voting for Tim Buckley, in case it's not already decided. I've always wanted to check him out.

^ Nice to have someone else on board, but don`t worry, I don`t think this ship is sailing anytime soon.

Voted for Hako. Sounded very interesting.

I haven't heard any of the albums in the poll but my faves are:-

Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
The Fairport Convention - Unhalfbricking
The Chieftains in China
The Pogues - Hell's Ditch
Dylan - The Freewheelin'
Simon and Garfunkel - Wednesday Morning 3 A.M.
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise (dunno if this counts)

Well here's your chance to possibly add a new entry to that list.

I voted VM & The Chieftains, out of the options I havent heard that one or the Langhorne release, was a tough choice between the two. I wouldnt begrudge the Hako album winning it either, it's a lovely piece of work.
