Last month I asked if you guys would be interested in a monthly Ninebullets Spotify playlist. You seemed pretty responsive to the idea so here is the first one. This playlist features every band that was featured on ninebullets in the month of January that was also on Spotify. I hope you enjoy it and if you do, pass it along to some friends. Like I keep saying, every new pair of ears these bands reach is a potential fan/head at show. This month's playlist features: Lauderdale, Ryan Adams, Jason Isbell, The Far West, Will Hoge, [...]

Let me tell you a little story about a band from Kansas City, which is also the story of my youth and the strange ways the world works. Please get yourself a beer and settle down in a comfortable chair, because this is going to take a few minutes. Way back in the olden days in Kansas City, Missouri there was a band called " Steve, Bob & Rich ". They consisted of Steve Phillips on guitar and vocals, Bob Walkenhorst on drums and main vocals and Richard Ruth on bass and vocals. Formed in 1983, they did [...]
I'm not doing a "regular" top-list. I already made a top50 for my norwegian blog, and the selections just make me want to go hide in the forest until the new year is official and no-one cares about these lists anymore. SO - what I'm doing for Ninebullets is picking some of my favorite albums among the more unknown artists out there... Obviously I loved Isbells "Here We Rest", Adams "Ashes & Fire", Gillians "The Harrow and The Harvest" and even Paul Simons beautiful "So Beautiful Or So What". But I also loved these albums, [...]

It's always really satisfying to hear tracks like these start from after the one minute and thirty second mark as they seem to open up even more for when the first chorus comes around later and that magical breakdown begins. Forcing things forward with more surprise than Mumford & Sons winning a 2011 Brit Award, Mike Saint-Jules is the man with the master plan in creating an original canvas of Picasso like melody. This painting of many dimensions sets up the inspirational tool set of Setrise who destroys the "set code" in his remix provided from 'Burning Spear.' [...]

Rainmaker was Chapman's debut album, released by Harvest in 1969. The album came as a total surprise, as Chapman did not emerged from the boiling melting pot of mid-60's Soho scene, wasn't a part of any interesting 'scene' (unless you include the Leeds jazz scene) and never met Bert Jansch, which is mandatory (he met [...]

After leaving Nashville behind, a situation that proved hostile to her creativity, and emerging in Brooklyn, Sharon and her guitar have since found an enviroment much more conducive to her artistic expression. Last year's album, Because I Was in Love features some of the most painfully beautiful folk tunes I've heard in some time. Sparse arrangements and haunting vocals place her in the company of songwriters like Alela Diane, Marissa Nadler and Diane Cluck. These beautiful folk songs address you directly with thoroughly engaging melodies that just suck you in. Last year, [...]

Just in time for our goodbyes to 2009 and the hellos to 2010 (hover boards anyone?) are two overly seductive mixes from an early pick of the year Villah Nah topped by the consistent and lush Jori Hulkkonen . Much like the heavy breathing from a meet with a mysterious other. Villa Nah - Rainmaker (Jori Hulkkonen Extended Mix) ysi 320Kbps Villa Nah - Rainmaker (Jori Hulkkonen Dub) ysi 320Kbps Thanks TB !

The Rainmakers: Downstream [ purchase ] This band I was in in high school, a cover band, played two songs from The Rainmakers ' self-titled album. (Me and one of the guitarists were fairly ga-ga over The Rainmakers for awhile.) "Downstream" is the only song I distinctly remember performing, though. The other was maybe "Let My People Go-Go"? I honestly don't recall. Here, in case you are unfamiliar with the band, are some snippets from their bio: "Missouri has long boasted of being [...]
