Kentuckyseven

Josh Kumra is the greatest voice around. Check him out doing this beautiful cover of a Jessie Ware song.

Before the Brave is a killer folkrockband from San Francisco, California. Compared to Ryan Adams, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, they still got their unique sound and two feet up our Kentuckysevenalley.

Before the Brave’s debut EP ”Great Spirit” is five songs released in November. It´s all we ever want for christmas.

Found this on Soundcloud. No idea who Todd Ramey is. Just know she sings with the presence of the essence – of greatness.

The song ”John Prine” gives a tale bout countrylegend John Prine who gigs Filadelfiakyrkan in Stockholm March 4 next year.

The  former mailman was once discovered by Kris Kristofferson who thought Prine played so good  ”we’ll have to break his thumbs”.

The Plastic Pals is a highway rock n roll band from Stockholm, Sweden. They got their influences right up our alley and creates an immense Americana-Garage-vibe.

Check out the single ”Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea” below. Produced by Chris Cacavas (Calexico, Giant Sand). The LP ”Turn the Tide” hit us February 6.

Kentuckyseven favorite returns with an album in march next year. John Grants new album is called ”Pale Green Ghosts” (Bella Union/Co Op Records), following up Queen of Denmark from 2010.

From the new upcoming album comes the first tune and video, the title tune: Pale Green Ghosts.

Check it!

Kansas Bible Company is a 11-man strong rockband from Nashville, Tennessee. Five-man horn line, three guitars, two drummers, one bassplayer. Guess you can say they have it all.

Their latest album Hotel Chicamauga was released this November. It is music you can not resist. We will not let you. Highly addictive, groovie guts all the way.

We bring you soul with capital letters. Vintage stuff, not modern. Lee Fields is our soulman, our dictator and doctor, a man who learned to love before he could eat. A tough motherfucker.

Check out the titlesong, Faithful Man, from this cracking 2012-record.

Sawyer Gebauer flew from Wisconsin to the country hills of Sweden. Arriving at Rosenhill farm, Brittsommar was formed upon the meeting of Johan Björk Dahl (guitar) and Evelin Sillén (violin/vocal).

The vibe is haunting, the drums lingering, the voice darker then darkness. This great band have released a new single, check it out.

Patrick Sweany is a great bluesrocking man from Ohio. Haven´t heard him yet? That is a dog-on-shame.

This guy got the voice of an angel. A drunk rockstar of an angel. We love him to death.

Want more of Mr Sweany, check out his latest – supergreat – record That Old Southern Drag.

The Lumineers is a great folkrockband from Denver, Colorado. Their self-titled debut album is filled with that earthy, dusty, hand-clap-shit we live and die for.

This is blues & bluegrass, folk & fury, Mumford & Avett; all wrapped up and ready to go. Check out the single Ho Hey and a preview of the record below.
