Trampled By Turtles
As of a couple years ago, I had never heard of Trampled By Turtles. With their release of Palomino, my eyes were opened to a band quite unlike anything out there. Fast forward through multiple live shows of theirs I took in, and we get to the anticipation of another
paul simon
I love a good cover, and well I love a good cover of a great song. A special Record Store Day release of “King of Spain,” had been paired with a b-side cover of one of my favorite Paul Simon songs “Graceland,” and the recording hit the net. The
Field Report
Field Report – Taking Alcatraz The third track to release, I’d say you might want to note Field Report at this point. With an affiliation with Bon Iver (he played pedal steel in Justin Vernon’s old band DeYarmond Edison) we can expect this project to have legs. Even without

Jonah Tolchin
Jonah Tolchin – Criminal Man I’ve been listening quite a bit to a musician by the name of Jonah Tolchin, a 19 year old kid that sings songs that are at times quite dazzling. I mention his age because you just won’t guess it. He sings with the soul
