Video of the Day #32: Wilcox Sullivan Wilcox

Well this is actually a song of the day, because there’s no moving pictures here. Just the cover of the album. However, this is a song that I’ve been slightly obsessed with during the past couple of weeks and therefore I wanted to post it. This song is an outtake from a rare folk album by Dennis Wilcox, Michael Sullivan and Judy Wilcox. It was recorded back in 1971, but has just recently been reissued. I don’t have the album yet, but it’s definitely on my shopping list. After listening to this amazing folk song below, check out more info about the group (and another song) on the Yoga Records website (also home of the amazing Ted Lucas reissue that is the current album of the month here at the onechord.net headquarters).

Video of the Day #31: Phil Wilson

I have The June Brides/Phil Wilson compilation Every Conversation (which is mostly excellent), but I’ve managed to completely miss Phil Wilson’s new album God Bless Jim Kennedy that was co-released by Slumberland and Yesboyicecream late last year. This great song I Own It is from the new album and clearly shows that this front man of the legendary 80s indie pop outfit The June Brides is still capable of making wonderful pop songs. I need to check out the new album.

Video of the Day #30: Michael Claytor & Sam Moss

Tonight I’ve been rather addicted to this video and have probably watched it over ten times. I haven’t done a lot of homework about Michael Claytor yet. I know he has been touring and playing with the wonderful Austin Lucas. This fabulous song is called Hairpins and it’s from an album called We Have An Elephant, which came out back in 2009 (yes, onechord.net isn’t the best place to keep up with new things, I’m way behind). Anyway, you can download this album from their bandcamp site. I just did. It’s 2 am though, so I better leave that album for tomorrow and go to sleep.. after I’ve watched this video once.. or twice..

Video of the Day #29: Klifton Filente

Lately I’ve been very much into Klifton Filente’s latest album Common Ground. The man behind Klifton Filente is Jonas Lundvall from Gothenburg, Sweden. A little bit of folk music, a slice of modern indie pop and a whole lot of really good songs. I think the album is mostly brilliant, but if you don’t take my word for it, you can make up your own mind by downloading the album for free on his bandcamp site. This simple video It Takes A Thorn To Remove A Thorn is an outtake from this beautiful album.
