Kentuckyseven

Long Way Round is the great new single from epic singer/songwriter Daniel Pearson. This is plain-great-songwriting from the talanted Mr Pearson.

Enjoy!

Ya´ll into Tom Waits, Mark Lanegan, Andi Almqvist, and other gentlemen with that barrel-of-bourbon sound? Check out the ever fascinating Everett Parker.

”The songs for this album were mostly recorded in my bedroom in Bromma, Stockholm, but also in an abandoned war shelter in Sollentuna which also holds my day job as a painter”, Mr Parker says.

Well done, sir!

”Dirt I Will Be” is the first single from the album ”Irrevocably Human” which was released on March 2nd through Lucky Duck Music.

Valerie June is on our mind. This bluesforce from Humboldt, Tennessee, will take over the world as we know it. And man she rocks.

The song You Can’t Be Told is produced and co-written by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys and Kevin Augunas  from Florence and The Machine. You can shake the BK-vibe all over, yet Valerie June got her own dirty-swampy-rootsy-thing going on.

Her debut album is coming up, we say dig.

Premiering right here on Kentuckyseven, the wonderous band Charity Children (Chloë Lewer, Elliott McKee) and their debut single ”Elizabeth”.

Starting out as street musicians in the streets of Berlin, for the first time ever their music can be heard outside the pavements of Berlin. This band from New Zeeland has got a unique sound, indie-folk at its very best. The unique sound is created from an impressing 15 musician strong ensamble that has created this over the last two years.

A full album will be released during 2013, this single is the first taste of what’s to come. We say: magic. And as one of a few chosen ones, we are proud to be able to present: Elizabeth

The single will be released 18th of february… but for your ears, right now, here on Kentuckyseven:

¤ Holly Williams was raised in Nashville and is the granddaughter of Hank Williams Sr.

She’s a sharp angel of mercy and puts the land back in country. We love the ride into the dark soil of Tennessee territory.

Her third album is out February 5 2013, check out the great tune Drinkin’.

. . .

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.

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.
