Another case study of why we need record stores, particularly independent record stores. While checking out the "local artist" listening post at Bart's CD Cellar in Boulder, I was introduced to these two fine artists, both of whom would probably be classified as Americana, Country/Folk, Singer Songwriters... but none of those labels quite does them justice. Give them a listen... Both present well-crafted, melodic material suitable for listening in a quiet space where you can really pay attention....
Reed Foehl's new release Once An Ocean will remind you of "After the Goldrush" era Neal Young with the poetic lyrics of a Townes Van Zandt. He's ably backed by members of the Be Good Tanyas. Nuf said?

Ain't The Same As Before from multi-instrumentalist Kort McCumber has a bit more of a country twang to the vocals, but also features intelligent lyrics and sweet melodies. Next best thing to actually being in Boulder.
