Labor Day Weekend Folk Bonanza Continues

Wow, Chris really read my mind a little bit with his post yesterday. I think its having a lot of time to myself with such beautiful weather this Labor Day weekend, but I've been listening to bunch of folk tunes these past few days. We've talked about both Anni Rossi and Alela Diane on TSRE before, but I want to reiterate how talented and awesome they are. I finally got Anni Rossi's debut LP Rockwell this weekend and it is phenomenal. He music is unique and avant garde, but in a way that evokes her midwestern roots in such a perfect way. I also received Alela Diane's early album The Pirate's Gospel yesterday and it has me transfixed. It might be the oh so subtle handclaps, or just that her voice is beautifully unrefined, but The Pirate's Gospel is the perfect album for the coming of Fall in New England. I am happy that I finally roused myself to get these albums. Well worth it, as are their live shows. Happy Labor Day!
