Song of the Day #766 – Bill Orcutt & Chris Corsano
If ‘Best Albums of the Year’ lists serve any good purpose, it’s to point out a few albums that went completely under my radar in the last 12 months (or more like 9 months given how early they come out these days). In at Number 43 with a bullet in The Guardian’s Best Albums of […]

Bonnie “Prince” Billy & Marquis de Tren – Solemns 12″ (Domino)
These masterly musicians are in top form here, ambling arm-in-arm and conversing as only decades of friendship allows.
