Ordered the J.B. Beverley & the Wayward Drifters yesterday through CD Baby. Sounds like good stuff.

very nice. i see more than a couple i already appreciate and more still that i will be looking into in the very near future. many thanks!

Gregory Alan Isakov - This Empty Northern Hemisphere

Really enjoying this one. I liked Rust Colored Stones quite a bit, but this one is much better. Just some great mostly downcast, reflective folks songs.

ooh, great lists.

the only record i think can be missing is Ryan Driver - Feeling of Pure Joy with the song "No One Cay Say Too Well" (pure joy, for the listener though =))

Stephen Simmons - Girls

Really digging this one. Just revisited it after first hearing it a few months ago. Great, mostly mellow folk songs with some great hooks, every song about a different girl.

I'm a Brit and I've had this before on other posts here as it's not really the same as Americans tend to think of folk, but I recommend Lau's Arc Light.
Anyone heard it?
