There was a recent discussion of Simon and Garfunkel, and I was reminded of two guys who really are, in my opinion, the sonic successors to them (as well as the Everly Brothers and others): The Milk Carton Kids: their first two albums are available for download completely free on their website, which i think is really classy.
Hey thenewgreen -- I'm listening to Prologue free on bandcamp right now and I have a feeling you would really like it. The first song is actually called Michigan. Thanks a bunch coffeesp00ns. Aw nuts they're actually touring with Tom Brosseau right now... sold out.
No problem flag. You can actually download Prologue and their second album for free on their website (no spotify necessary for those out of US, or those who dislike spotify). the Link is on this page just under the header. There's also a great Tiny Desk Concert where you can kind of see their personality as well. It's kind of endearing.
I can't find the recordings, but a couple years back The Milk Carton Kids came into my radio station and did a live session. It was incredible, such a great band.
Kings of Convenience can't be left out of a discussion on the contemporaries of the likes of Simon & Garfunkel.
for sure! thanks for the link, this is great stuff!
