Via the medium of the BBC's Listen Again malarkey I made the welcome discovery of the rather wonderful The Felice Brothers today. In my mind, the band I always wanted to play in was the one playing the acoustic guitars and basses doing ragged songs with lovely vocal harmonies reminiscent of The Band and Basement Tapes era Bob Dylan. To the extent that The Felice Brothers are filling this role so well one of my dreams has died, or at least been seriously wounded, today. However, I take some solace in the fact that The Felice Brothers are likely doing the job much better than I ever would.
For your listening pleasure I recommend:
Frankie's Gun! (not the greatest sound quality, but a great live feel, you can check grooveshark or similar for the studio version).
