Eric and Will

It's been raining for the past two days, not really pouring, just a lot of quiet gray, which means I've been getting into that kind of music. If it's raining where you are too, check these out:

(they're really different in mood - and Oldham trumps Bachmann easily, IMO, so maybe you should listen to Bachmann first.)

I've only heard one song by Eric Bachmann (aka Crooked Fingers), but I kinda like it. He's a North Carolina native and his newest album was recorded in a motel room on the Outer Banks. He's got a sparse but warm sound. Listen to: Carrboro Woman.

This is one of my favorite Will Oldham songs. It opens All the Real Girls. Listen to: All These Vicious Dogs. (There's another version called Even if Love, but I haven't heard it, I'm not sure if it's different or the same.)
