Video of the Day #88: Tyler Butler

Yer Bird Records will be re-releasing Tyler Butler’s Winter King on 20th of march. To celebrate the upcoming release, Tyler and Yer Bird have set up a video series and they will post a new live video every tuesday until the release. Winter King took some high positions on the year-end lists of my favourite folk-minded blogs (Slowcoustic, Common Folk Music) and it’s definitely time to introduce my heart to Tyler Butler’s music when Winter King comes out. I think we might hit it off rather well, if this video of Plover is a sign of things to come. Finnish folks are certainly quite used to the same kind of chilling conditions as this Canadian folk musician. Check out more videos at winterking.ca where you will find a new video each tuesday.

Video of the Day #87: Simone Felice

Simone Felice will release his new solo album in april 2012. I’m a long time fan and I’m really looking forward to the album. Especially because these first soundbites seem to be quite close to the material on the first The Duke & The King album, which was a five hearts album here at onechord.net and was also #3 on my top albums of the year 2009 list. These couple of videos have been out for a while and it’s criminal that I haven’t posted these yet. These marvellous songs are Hey Bobby Ray and New York Times, both from the upcoming album.

Video of the Day #84: Sassparilla

I’ve been listening to the new Sassparilla album The Darndest Thing quite a lot during the last few weeks. This Portland-based group has created a pretty damn good americana album. This might not be the greatest video you’ll ever see, but I really like this song My First Lover and it’s not even my biggest favourite on the album. Beautifully crafted dark atmospheres.
