Damien Jurado is one of the creepiest songwriters of his time, very good midwest americana truck stop love murder ballads.
More so on "Where Shall You Take Me" on Secretly Canadian Records.
"first came the screams....then blood on the floor......the magazines and razor blades........I am not an evil man I just have a habit i can't kick.
It goes from there to these beutiful songs about driving with his father through the bad lands of Nebraska.

"Ghoast of David" is really good to.

I'm a big fan of Molina. Didn't It Rain, which he did near the end of his Songs: Ohia days, is quiet, spare, personal & terrific. His new(er) band, Magnolia Elec. Co. is a much bigger, rhythm-based sound, but terrific also. If you can, get their double cd, because it's interesting to hear him do a lot of the numbers in both acoustic, solo versions as well as the group versions. Heard him withthe band a few months back and it was great...and loud! Unhappy he's not coming anywhere near my burgh on the current tour since I hear he's fronting a ten-man band! Bring earplugs or forever say, "Excuse me, could you repeat that?"

Songs: Ohia/Jason Molina/Magnolia Electric Co

I own all official releases by Songs: Ohia/Jason Molina/Magnolia Recording Co and a few of the singles. I think he's fantastic. You can never go wrong if you buy 'Didn't it rain', 'Ghost Tropic', 'Pyramid Electric Co' and/or the album Magnolia Electric Co. I like the other albums too but (I think) these are his strongest work to date. 'The Gray Tower' which is my absolute favourite Molina song was released on a 7' now sold out. Download it at www.pry.com/songsohia and also scroll around and listen lots and lost of mp3s. Use this link http://pry.com:8080/songsohia/so-singles/songsohia2002tower-01-thegraytower.mp3 to find the specific song right away. Most people seem to like Molinas earlier albums like 'Axxess and ace' but I don't.

I like Damien too but not nearly as much.

Been hearing about Songs:Ohia and Damien Jurado for years now but never really known where to start with these bands. Anyone with any advice on how best to approach...?
