Farewell Milwaukee

Wow, I love this band! They remind me of Ryan Adams (my favorite recording artist), crossed with the Damnwells and Damien Rice. I accidentally discovered this group on Pandora the other day, and now I can't get enough of them. The music is smooth, and easy. Though they are from Minneapolis, the sound could easily be mistaken as southern. I guess they're another great band to fall under the label "Alt-Country", which has been made popular by Wilco and Ryan Adams.  The vocals are smooth, harmonious and calming and the music much the same. Even the live recordings on youtube, completely stripped of production, percussion and bass, are amazing. Just two guys jamming together on acoustic guitars, singing in harmony, some really heartfelt stuff. Really love it!

  1. I really like your idea for a song-a-day blog. I like how your intentions are to talk about not only songs you like, but a song that you might not like at all.
