2012 Discoveries

Amelia Curran is excellent. Thanks for the recommendation and accurate description.

...and I would add that the recording is outstanding.

Amelia Curran sounds interesting. Listened to Hunter, Hunter which I think I will order. She is also new to me.

First Aid Kit sounds great. Like what I hear on The Lions Roar.

Picked up the First Aid Kit and have been listening all afternoon. Thanks for this great lead, Richard. Similarities to Neko Case and a little of Emmylou Harris. The tunes are great and I like the expansive silvery feel to the sound. I really like Neko but find it fatigueing for more than about 30mins and some songs seem to be fill ins with weak tunes in places. The Lion Roar does not do that to me.

Have not heard it but will try it when i get the chance.

Just got a copy of War Brides and it is also great. Thanks again for the Amelia Curran lead.

Try Terri Hendrix's album The Ring. Light acoustic americano from 2002.

Angus Stone's album Broken Bells. Try out this recommendation! Brand new excellent Australian folk album which will not disappoint.
