One of my favorites of the year. I shoudn't have posted the album art, because when you're listening to him there's no way you'd expect him to be a young white dude as opposed to an awesome black soul singer from the 60's/70's. Really awesome soul with a little bit of funk, tongue planted firmly in cheek, but not so much that it stops being awesome. Really, if you can listen to "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out", and "Your Easy Lovin" and not think this is awesome music you're doing something wrong. Get psyched on this record dudes.
This is an interesting record, he reminds me of that Remy Shand bloke from a few years back. Guy made one reasonably solid blue-eyed soul record and promptly vanished into the outer realms of obscurity. I think the problem with both records is that they're a bit on the nose, though they're original compositions, the tracks sound more like tribute records to their idols. Still, even if they rely exclusively on their influences for inspiration, the music is undeniably catchy as hell.

The link to this one has gone dark... I love the Remy Shand LP, still makes the rotation every so often. Any chance of a fix/re-up?

--- Quote ---After a widely acclaimed 2008 EP 'Cabin Ghosts,' relentless touring, and months spent in the studio, Cory Chisel is putting the finishing touches 'Death Won't Send A Letter,' his debut full-length for Black Seal Records, coming out September 29.
The album's first single, the haunting, defiant renegade's tale "Born Again," was co-written with Brendan Benson, and features backing from bassist "Little Jack" Lawrence (Raconteurs, The Dead Weather), and drummer Patrick Keeler (The Raconteurs, The Greenhornes). A behind the scenes look at the recording sessions for "Born Again" can be viewed now on Cory's website.
'Death Won't Send A Letter' was recorded primarily at Blackbird studios in Nashville, with Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, The White Stripes) at the helm. In addition to the aforementioned musicians others who contributed to the album include My Morning Jacket guitarist Carl Broemel, and Cory's longtime backing vocalist/keyboard player Adriel Harris.
The son of a Baptist minister, Cory Chisel hails from Appleton, WI, where his hometown shows have drawn crowds of over 2500 fans. Since releasing 'Cabin Ghosts' last year, Cory has toured with Rachel Yamagata, Meiko, The Low Anthem and others.

FRISKA VILJOR - FOR NEW BEGINNINGS (2009) [MP3, 320kbps]

--- Quote ---those of you that have heard of friska viljor before probably know the story of how daniel johansson and joakim sveningsson started the band after both their relationships had gone down the drain. those of you that haven't heard of the band still know this particular kind of story far too good. heartache has always been one of the prime catalysts for artistic work, and every artist sees their own suffering as something unique, and their thoughts and work about it as something the whole world should share, says daniel.
after four years using music as a cheap therapist both daniel and joakim have now come to the point in their lives when it's time for a fresh start. this clearly shows on the band's third album ”for new beginnings”. the lyrics no longer consists solely of broken hearts. instead there's stories of happiness, sorrow and hope. you'll get some soul searching in if i die now, a bit of nostalgia in the childhood portray manwhore, and some apathy in hibiskus park. there's also some changes in the music. you still get the drastic leaps between genres and the bands typical instrumentation with everything from mandolin, ukelele and glockenspiel to accordion, clarinet and saw. but you can clearly sense a new direction, away from euphoric choruses towards depth and seriousness. - Myspace Blurb

I stumbled upon an old vinyl version of this recently. Definitely worth a good high-volume play (especially "The Creeper"). And come on, why don't you have it already?
