Banjos

<< < (3/6) > >>

TheFuriousWombat:
Someone mentioned Sufjan Stevens. Does it make me lame if I say his album 'Seven Swans,' which is basically all him singing and playing banjo with very little other instrumentation, is really awesome? Because it is really awesome. I also recommend 'Okkervil River''s 'Don't Fall in Love with Everyone You See' which has some banjo on it (but a lot more sweet, sweet mandolin).

Old Man Luedecke...

I come from a family involved with the bluegrass business. Two words: BELA FLECK

You Are Brahman!:
Steve Martin is an amazing banjoist.

I don't really understand the angst against Sufjan...    Try the Seven Swans album. 


Do Iron & Wine use banjos?  I'm pretty sure they do.


When you inherit your banjo, use a violin/viola/cello bow across it.  The sound is indescribable and, though not entirely lovely, is worth listening to.   It's a little like a sitar... 

Which reminds meeee.   This band came to a tea house near my school and brought a ukulele, a banjo, three guitars (one with 12 strings) and a jimbey drum.  They're called The Momentary Prophets.

Give 'em a try.  I think that album has SOME banjoing in it.
