Dawn Landes ' bluegrass cover of Peter Bjorn & John's "Young Folks." Dawn recorded the song with WST (We Sorta Tried) Bluegrass Band from Austin, TX. Unfortunately it's not just the pretty voice of Landes, because the background singers kind of get on my nerves, but I got this in the mailbox and thought I'd post it. I love when people cover great songs...sometimes it works. .: Young Folks

Some albums are timeless. Granted, the Postal Service 's Give Up is only a few years old at this point, but it has already shown unprecedented longevity. " Such Great Heights " in particular has ma naged to remain in the top twenty tracks over at Last.fm , a feat that's especially remarkable in a music environment that's as dynamic - and fickle - as it's ever been. So with such ubiquity the first time around, it's only natural that we'd jump at any development in that hypothetical second album. The folks over at [...]

New York-based singer-songwriter, Dawn Landes, a sort of alt-country version of Joanna Newsom, has recorded her own unique take on Peter, Bjorn & John's mega-single 'Young Folks'. Dawn is a multi-instrumentalist who's toured with Andrew Bird, Rainer Maria and Jose Gonzales amongst countless others. Although, perhaps most exciting for us, she is also Ryan Adams' recording engineer! Big question remains though, in spite of all her collaborations, can she pull off a tune? Take a listen to the cover and original below and you tell us. Learn more about Dawn here on her [...]

Singer-songwriter Dawn Landes is about to become a star. Her bluegrass version of "Young Folks" floating around on youtube is simply wonderful and points not only to the essential genius of the song, but to Landes's great talent. Landes is originally from Louisville and is now based in Brooklyn. Her music combines the traditionalism of Woody Guthrie with the verve of the alt-folk movement. Her day job is as a recording engineer and she has worked with Hem, Philip Glass, Joseph Arthur and Ryan Adams. Her recent album is called [...]

I realize that most of what people want out of SXSW has been covered by now, but that's only if you were interested in the Cold War Kids and whatever other huge bands that everyone already knows about. Which isn't to say that you've never heard of any of these bands, but that is largely besides the point! So, here's some of the songs I enjoyed using SXSW's music player. Ane Brun - To Let Myself Go - (MP3, 3 MB) I've meant to talk about Ane Brun on here for [...]

It's that time of the year - and I'm not talking about Christmas this time around! Music sites and blogs from A to Z are compiling their coveted "Best of 2006" lists for the masses of music lovers to criticize or praise. This year-end delicacy has quickly become a staple for many music sites, including this one, with the subjective lists encompassing an entire year's worth of music. While we're putting the finishing touches on a few more of our lists, one of my favorite musicians crafted a list of his own. A few weeks ago [...]
