thenewgreen and I were recently discussing music in one of the favorite music threads and he was throwing some recs around (as was just about everyone in the thread). I had the idea that maybe a Sunday-afternoon music thread where everyone tosses out something that they discovered -- new or old -- during the past week could generate some excellent discussion.
I'll start us off with a link to Oh Darlin', a track by the longtime singer/songwriter Blaze Foley. I love the influences present in this track and the album it came from -- listening to it reminds me of old-style Robert Johnson songs, simplified Delta blues, Lead Belly, etc.
Thanks, all! A strange and wonderful variety of music in this thread so far.
