We first caught up with Taco Land back last year when they were our Band of the Week and went on to a fifth place finish in the Band of the Year competition. We've recently been able to add some more great music from the San Antonio based band's Heart of Texas album and today we feature Lost and Found. Taco Land, which is now the duo of Joseph Russell and Jerry Lafere, write and play smart and smooth indie rock.
Our second and fourth songs from today's shuffle comes from the 2006 album Four Thieves Gone - The Robbinsville Sessions by The Avett Brothers. First up with have a cheerful little number The Lowering (A Sad Day in Greenvilletown).
Townes Van Zandt was a national treasure. To say he was under appreciated in his lifetime is a gross understatement. He suffered from a variety of mental health issues and substance abuse problems, and eventually, these problems slowed his once prolific musical output. Today's song is the painfully fractured gem Sanitarium Blues which was released posthumously on the A Far Cry from Dead album.
We close it out with another song from The Avett Brothers' Four Thieves Gone album, this is one Matrimony. The Avett Brothers will be appearing at this years Bonnaroo festival.
