Music "deep cuts"

[RaWarrior]

There's a thread on another forum I check out like this, and I picked up lots of cool new music off it, so I figure I'll give it a go here.

Essentially, its for any obscure/rare/little known songs that you really like. Kind of like "best songs nobody's heard". Can be of any genre, any band, and from any time period. In the other thread, probably 95% of songs were on iTunes for preview, and if you liked a song, you would PM your email address to the person who posted it and they'd send it to you.

I'll start:

Title: Rose de Lay
Artist: The Killdares
Album: Secrets of the Day
Genre: Celtic Rock
On iTunes? Yes

Can't find a decent copy on youtube.

Instrumental Celtic rock at it's finest. Great music to listen to while on the bike. This is my favorite, but you really can't go wrong with anything from them. "Glasgow" is another noteworthy one.

Nice one Garrett....parts of it kind of remind me of Trans-Siberian.

Here's another couple:

Title: Fusion
Artist: Cool Cavemen
Album: Multiploar
Genre: Rock/Ska
On iTunes? yes
The audio quality on this utube version kind of sucks, but all I could find.

Title: Hanuman
Artist: Rodrigo y Gabriela
Album: 11:11
Genre: Latin
On iTunes? Yes

This is probably my favorite, but they have so many amazing songs it isn't even funny. They both come from metal bands, and both have absolutely amazing skill. They have acoustic covers of many well known metal songs also...check them out. Keep in mind there is NO accompaniment or dubbed over track...all the percussion sounds are made with the guitars.

Not really a video but a worthwhile listen anyways...this might sound familiar if you watch Sons of Anarchy , was on last episode...

This is cool - great idea.

So a lot of people can't handle the screaming, but try to think of this song as an instrumental piece, with the vocals just adding one more set of sounds. These guys are incredibly talented, and they play together very tightly. I'm a recent fan.

Artist: August Burns Red
Song: Composure
Genre: Hard Core

This one is about as different form my last one as it gets, but I love this guy too.

Artist: Iron & Wine
Song: Gray Stables
Genre: Folk? Just plain guy-with-a-guitar good music

OPIATE FOR THE MASSES
Title: Burn You Down
Album: Manifesto
Genere: something like hard rock

Haha I've actually heard that song, I think it was on one of the Rock Band games. Kewl song though.

Here's a couple of songs that represent a "bygone era" of music.

Title: Butter on My Roll
Artist: Gregory Brothers
Genre: Motown

Not a lot of people know that the "Auto Tune the News" people are actually really talented musicians, and they make music almost "on the side". This one has a really hot Motown flavor, they really just don't make music like this anymore.

It's not on utube and I can't upload mp3s to this site, preview it on itunes or something and I'll email you the file if you want. The video is pretty cool too.



Title: Tighten Up
Artist: The Black Keys
Genre: Blues/rock

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpaPBCBjSVc

Really old-school sounding bluesy rock. Love it, it sounds vintage and fresh at the same time.

I like the jazz too...
