The second part of Given and Taken in Ink's autumn mix is now up on 8tracks: Every time I make a new list, I think it's the best one I've ever done. Sometimes that's actually true. This just may be one of those times. There's the pure pop joy (no pun intended) of "Murderous Joy," the quirky brilliance of Siskiyou, and the weary rasp of Dan Mangan. I love the tranquility of "State / Meant" juxtaposed with the anxiously dreamlike "Curfews." "Ghost Towns" and "My Friends" are highlights of two masterful albums. And I [...]
Multi-instrumentalist Tyler Ramsey knows how to hold to back. His sophomore album A Long Dream About Swimming Across The Sea landed him a job as the lead guitarist for Band of Horses , whicj required him to turn things up a little. As a solo artist he persists in creating mainly acoustic songs. His third solo release The Valley Wind is bit more country than its predecessors. Recording took only six days Alex The Great studio in Nashvile, TN, with Band Of Horses band mate Bill Reynolds [...]

The title track is a lovely, evocative slice of countrified rock that recalls vintage Neil Young with its rustic imagery and sense of solitude and mystery.

Easy like Sunday morning...even though it's Saturday. ►Philadelphia trio the War on Drugs may sound firmly rooted Americana, but listen deeper and you'll hear (or feel) hypno-melodies and the shoegaze sect of alt-rock. Their second album, "Slave Ambient", is an intricate weave of reflection: plaintive vocals, washes of cascading guitars…the pieces just fit. See for yourself tonight at the Satellite along with Purling Hiss and Carter Tanton. ►Pop reigns supreme as the blonde ambition of Sweden's Robyn , "the most killingest pop star on the planet" and Royksopp play their [...]
Tyler Ramsey returns to Eddie's Attic Wednesday night for a set in support of his latest solo effort, The Valley Wind .
Band of Horses guitarist steps out into his own as a uniquely talented singer-songwriter. If you've seen a Band of Horses live show at any point over the past several years, you have surely noticed Tyler Ramsey. Lanky and often bearded, Ramsey unassumingly handles lead guitar duties, subtly adding texture and grace to Ben Bridwell's sprawling, haunted tunes. For a band with one foot planted squarely in the pantheon of '70s rock vibes, it makes sense that Ramsey himself is a singer-songwriter. Despite rarely handling any Band of Horses...
![TYLER RAMSEY (OF BAND OF HORSES) SWOONS JOE'S PUB [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3788015_lg.jpg)
Tyler Ramsey (@bandofhorses) of Band of Horses played an intimate show at Joe's Pub Monday night. Ramsey's gentle folk picking and beautiful voice radiated a soothing vibe throughout the candlelit venue. Drawing from his 2007 work A Long Dream About Swimming Across the Sea , Ramsey treated the audience to "A long dream", "Birdwings", and "No One Goes Out". The real treat came at the end of the show, though, when he covered Cyndi Lauper's "All through the night". All in all the artist, the venue and the atmosphere made for a perfect show. [...]
DOWNLOAD : Tyler Ramsey - "All Through the Night" (from Fuel/Friends Chapel Session ) Tyler Ramsey played a solo headlining show at Joe's Pub this past Monday, touring behind his recently released third solo disc The Valley Wind (Fat Possum). It was an intimate evening as Tyler's plaintive vocals established the atmosphere and he alternated between acoustic and electric guitar, occasionally utilizing some reverb and taped backing instrumentation. The show ran for just over 60 minutes, with one encore, and Tyler played material from all three of his solo discs and [...]
Here's a few quick shots from the mailbag, starting with my favorite: Breaking Hearts from the Canadian indie rockers Rah Rah. It's their second album, and it's really tight indie rock. Parkade (NGHTBLND Remix) Video for "Parkade" John Steel Singers-Tangalooma. A debut album of bouncy pop-for fans of Wings or maybe Polyphonic Spree. "Rainbow Kraut" - The John Steel Singers by PlanetaryOnlinePR Tyler Ramsey (of Band Of Horses)-his third solo LP The Valley [...]

Who's Tyler Ramsey ? Yes, he's the guy from Band of Horses and Avett Brothers. His solo album is a gentle collection of intimate numbers on the wonderful label Fat Possum Records. It sounds a little like Band of Horses. Not that there's anything wrong with that. It's got that Southern, soaring sound featured in every BOH tune—but without the desperation. It's a thumb way, way up from me. The Valley Wind by tylerramsey
