City and Colour – Little Hell

Hey! Dallas! You dropped the acoustic for the ’52 Telecaster, eh? Good work. Kind of.

K, so I don’t hate it. But City and Colour used to be so freakin’ raw that it was unbearable. Dallas’ voice is so pure that its difficult to think of anyone that can hold what he can hold.

Comparatively, this CD doesn’t come close to the old stuff. Putting it out there alone, it does hold its own. Its good for what it is and what it has. It was his first time as a front man and not a lone-soul with the perfect tuning and complementary voice. Keep making music Dallas, Ill definitely keep buying it.

The Cave Singers – Welcome Joy

Okay, so you know the first time you heard Fleetwood Mac, and you were like, woah, they kind of know what they’re doing? This music reminds me of that feeling that you get when you hear it.

Its intensely passionate for what it is. I actually can’t stand country music, but this progressive folk is beautiful because of its rawness, passion, and heart.

If you enjoy Mumford and Sons, these guys will give you that same type of recognition of sound. Maybe a little more acid rock and less frozen tundra of the English hillside.
