A Sweet Serenade
The best thing about this acoustic/raw trend is a lot of the songs are just put on the web as mp3s. Many of the artists are in other bands as well so they put out these songs because they can. Good for free music.
Chris Murray’s Myspace page offers some songs, 2 for download at the moment and regularly changing his songs, but it is worth buying one of his records. I listened to some of Colin and Kelly’s stuff today and found that their cover of Ken Boothe’s Everything I Own is wonderful and well worth a listen. Esco Chris is newish on the scene – records all the instruments and vocals himself. Worth a listen, but probably my least favourite from this bunch.
Lawless Street Records have gone one step further and released an album of acoustic reggae called A Sweet Serenade. This includes songs by some great US reggae/rocksteady artists including 2.5 White Guys, Deal’s Gone Bad and Westbound Train.
