5. Elvis Perkins in Dearland-
Elvis Perkins in Dearland
Elvis (his real name) is the son of actor Anthony Perkins who died of AIDS. A year later, almost to the day, his mother died in one of the planes that hit the twin towers. Sad, sorrowful folk rock with different instruments (including a trombone), his voice and lyrics are utterly profound. Hints of gospel, folk, rock and vaudeville all coalesce into a dark beauty that can't be described. If you're on my facebook page, you can see pic's from his concert earlier this year. What a great performer. Every song on this LP is gold and it too, has not left my rotation yet. He just released an EP in October that is good as well.
