Attention Nick Drake and John Martyn fans - Check out Dan Arborise.

My copy's on the way, thanks John!

Thanks for this recommendation. I think you might like Alexi Murdoch too.

Has Dan's record arrived? What do you think?

Regards

Diccus

The strings on Be Here Now, the opening track on Ray Lamontagne's new album, is very Nick Drake-esque.

cheers Munch

also check out Ron Sexsmith. He doesn't write a bad song

Sorry Diccus - only just caught up with your post!

Like Munch, we have been listening to it quite a lot. Unlike Munch this has not been in the car but on the Naim.

At the moment we are tending only to be able to listen to acoustic music, quite late at night, quietly (kids). So there has been a bit of circular motion between Nick Drake, John Martyn, Jose Gonzalez, Dan Arborise and (most recently discovered by us - thanks to Forum recommendation) Davy Graham.

I hope the fact that Dan can exist in this lofty firmament speaks of the quality of his music!

Ilove it, its been in the car since i got it. I must bring it in and put it in the Naim.regards munch

I have had my promo copy on my system for sometime now but don't seem to be able to get right into it. Check out the Alexi Murdoch ep he is the closest thing to Nick Drake I have heard in years. The album which took him a couple of years to make isn't as good as the original ep.

Biddy,

Welcome to the Forum, stick around. Yeah Ron Sexsmith has been around awhile. He played Newcastle a little while back. Which of his records would you recommend?

Diccus

James, Munch and Malky (sounds like it could be the name of a new cartoon strip

You might want to try Nels Andrews. I bought his cd from cdbaby and its pretty good acousticana.

Listen here

James, your evenings sound much like mine. Small children and the need for quiet music to relax too.

Check out Paul Curreri, Jeffrey Foucault, A J Roach amongst others. All of them you can find on cdbaby except the new A J Roach which you can get through Fish records.

Someone that has heard of AJ Roach, i'm in heaven. Saw him last year playing in a record shop to about 15 people he was great. His 'Dogwood Winter' album is superb. His new record is available here and I think in january in the US. AJ and Nels Andrew toured Britain recently but not near enough to me. Maybe next time

Regards

I bought the first AJ Roach on it's day of issue.
The new A J Roach is even better than the first one. But give the first Jeffrey Foucault a listen it is one of the best debuts I have heard in a long time. He has 3 discs out now
but I still think the first is the best.

There is so much good stuff out there that never gets the attention it deserves. I also have the Nels Andrews disc Diccus.

I have Ghost repeater which is pretty good. He has played in Newcastle a few times but haven't managed to catch up with him. There is a song on Ghost Repeater about Durham.

I'll have to check out AJ's new one.

Do you like Slaid Cleaves?
