Silver Jews

So I've been listening to a few of there albums this afternoon & was thinking there are probably a fair amount of "rock" music lovers on this forum who have never heard of them. They are worth a listen. There music reminds me of a stripped down bar band that is often on the verge of alt/country with just a hint of rockabilly. They are a fairly creative band that stop at the edge of becoming weird. There lyrics are often amusing & sung in a manner you would expect from a band of this nature. There was a lot of talent in this band as members from "Pavement" as well as the "Pixies" contributed, but the mainstay of the band was David Berman who took his life last month so there will be no more.
