    I will say.....Snider's Army is a passionate bunch. You're not the first to sing his praises to me.

    Any others?

    Grant-Lee Phillips is still amazing as a live artist. His last few solo LP's haven't been much (if you ain't into folk), but he still plays a lot of the Buffalo material. Fuckn' legend!
    My Pearl Jam shows: 1 in 1995, 2 in 1998, 20 in 2003, 13 in 2006, 3 in 2007, 8 in 2008, 5 in 2009, 4 in 2010, 5 in 2012. EV: 8 in 2011, 1 in 2012. Brad: 1 in 1998, 1 in 2002.

    I was on a Marah kick for awhile, kind of put them aside for now. I got an email of an upcoming album release for them so I will probably check it out soon. They are worth checking out, I hear their live shows are where they shine.
    If there were no Angels would there be no sin?

    I don't think she is on Yep Roc, however I did discover her through that website as they were advertising her latest record. Check out Neko Case. Simply fantastic.

    1. She has a voice that could make angels cry.
    2. The music she is accompanied by is a nice blend of country and alternative rock.
    3. SCHWING! She's a babe!

    Grant Lee Phillips is amazing. He is a top 10 arttist of all time for me.

    Do yourself a favor and pick up Grant Lee Buffalo - Storm Hymanal. It's a great introduction to his work.

    Yep roc is cool, I bought his new LP Little Moon from them and won a contest and received a signed Grant Lee Photo. Can't say I totally endorse the new album though as a starting point. As a solo artist I'd start with Virginia Creeper.

    Full band you can't go wrong with Fuzzy, Mighty Joe Moon or the Storm Hymnal compilation

    Grant lee Phillips is a true legend of the 90s and to this day blows me away whenever I get to see him live. Solo stuff is a bit more mellow, although IMO the new album is his closest venture to the GLB days.

    Grant Lee Buffalo are a must for every DECENT music fan...seriously pick up their albums you wont be disappointed!
    I need a coffee!

    I listened to a few snippets and wasn't impressed......I'll go back and try again. GLB has gotten multiple love from you guys.

    Big Ass Truck. Got to give the nod to the Tennessee boys.

    Good stuff. I used to go to school with one of the brother of one of the guys in the group.

    When I had my radio show, I interviewed them.

    Thumbs up...check them out.

    Must take issue with this. I'd start with Mobilze. Virginia Creeper is way too 'proper' folk.

    I really need to get my hands on mobilize...

    I suppose VC is very much folk, but I think it's a near perfect folk record
