My most prolific album suggester strikes again. This is a beautiful album that I loved. It gave me one of my most enjoyable drives home in recent memory.

I just heard of this artist from an article about the inspirations behind some actress’s new album. Really an enjoyable, mellow listen.

I saw these guys live a few years ago when I dragged my dad and brother to a jam band festival in Austin, but somehow never listened to one of their studio albums until now.

With all of my talk about Ben Gibbard, thanks thought it might be fun to explore the work of some of his other collaborators. In this case, one third of the Postal Service, Jenny Lewis.

Another great Spotify selection.

Here’s another great band that I totally missed the boat on.

The Ben Gibbard project from the other day made me want to explore his catalog more.

Spotify make a lot of great suggestions. I especially like ones from earlier eras of my life where I was stuck in a loop of mainstream rock and classic rock. I really missed out of many years of great discoveries, which are only becoming apparent now.

The side projects of Ben Gibbard are some fascinating albums. The success of the prolific album by The Postal Service really guaranteed that I will always listen to anything he is involved in.

Not only is Brandi Carlile an amazing songwriter and performer, but she is responsible for my discovery of one of my favorite live acts, the Avett Brothers. We went to see Brandi once long ago and it turned out that she was opening for the Avetts, with whom we were not familiar at the time.
