Clem Snide and Eilen Jewell
I’ve been listening to a lot of music to gain inspiration for my new project. Two albums that have held my ear the last couple of months…
I had never really listened to Clem Snide, but when NPR posted With All My Heart from Hungry Bird I had to take a closer look. I love the sparse arrangement of this heartbreakingly beautiful song. The rest of the album is equally good. Turn up the volume when you listen to Me No.
I read about Eilen Jewell on songs:illinois, a blog where I’m finding more and more of my music lately. This album has got balls. I love love love the rockabilly\surf electric guitar all over these songs. Every so often Eilen will belt out a guttural growl that just kills me. Check out Sea of Tears and her cover of Shakin’ All Over. It’s really fun to listen to this music.
More to come soon…
