Chest Rockwell is releasing a couple of singles on Third Man . Considering that Third Man label boss had a quick cameo as Elvis in Walk Hard , it's not too huge of a surprise that the Walk Hard star, longtime Hollywood character actor, and general funny motherfucker John C. Reilly has linked with him to release some music. But it's still pretty notable how seriously everybody's taking this thing. Read More...
Jack White's label, Third Man Records, announced a whole bunch of exciting releases yesterday.

I entered the studio at about 9:35pm, meeting up with Stuarto, who has the time slot before mine. A quick interview about 15 minutes before my show, another few songs, and I was up. It was requested that I attempt a transition, and as indie music is my theme, and world music is his, I figured I'd kick things off with an oldie, but goodie: "The Gulag Orkestar" by Beirut. The theme of the evening, loosely, centered around folk. Indie folk, folk pop, folk rock, orchestral folk, experimental folk... [...]

Tweet Given that's he's backed by Fat Cat you'd imagine their powers of persuasion would have propelled Tom Brosseau beyond his current ripples. Especially given the simple yet powerful shimmy of songs like 'Big Time'. This will creep up on you, always playful but only driving its stake through your heart as the momentum gathers pace. It is taken from the cleverly titled (yet factually untrue) 'Posthumous Success' which has been superseded by 20102s 'Les Shelleys'. Brosseau is quite prolific and each [...]
In 2008, Matt Bauer released The Island Moved In The Storm , one of our favorite records of that year that has continued to hold its weight in rotation since. Earlier this year Bauer released The Jessamine County Book Of The Living , a continuation of greatness which demonstrates Bauer's a firm grasp on the songwriting craft. If you live in Austin be sure to catch Matt Bauer at Waterloo Records at 5pm this Wednesday and later that night at the Mohawk . Both [...]

Tom Brosseau and John C. Reilly photo by Kate Rentz The New L.A. Folk Festival put together a cozy Louvin Brothers tribute show at HM157 featuring covers of Louvin classics by an array of L.A. folk-inspired bands. Fort King started the night off a little rocky by cutting a song in the middle when singer Ryan Fuller could not hear his guitar, but the crowd would have preferred he just play through to keep the vibe magical and not stall. When you're only playing two songs, it seems like you gotta be a trooper and keep [...]
Today is the birthday of Ira Louvin, one half of the great country music pioneering Louvin Brothers. He was the dark half of the cookie and God bless him and the wife that shot him.

Want to know what songs will be performed tonight by the likes of Tom Brosseau, John C Reilly, Stone Darling, Chapin Sisters, Emily Lacy, Wimberley Bluegrass Band, RT N' The 442s, Olentangy John, Fort King, The Damn Sons, Jenny O and Driftwood Singers? ...We [...]
I was meaning to write about how Rick Rubin is behind the Avett Brothers new album when this song by Tom Brosseau came on this blog's player . It's plain yet enchanting, or as he himself would say it's like " freshly washed relics on the patio for drying in the sun ." Tom Brosseau: Here Comes The Water Now.mp3
live on A Prairie Home Companion Tom Brosseau is like an angel...alien from North Dakota...definitely something celestial, a force of good, nice things. Listen to him play on A Prairie Home Companion then pop over to Hotel Cafe tonight where he'll be performing with WPA, that's Sean Watkins (Nickel Creek, The Watkins Family) and Glen Phillips. And stare at the word "prairie" for a while. How weird is that word? —Daiana Feuer

Words by Jacob Barron There is literally no such thing as Thanksgiving music. I'm serious. Go look it up. At its worst, it's smarmy new age cheese and gag-worthy nationalism that you can buy at your local Christian bookstore. At its best, it's co-opted classical, with Peer Gynt Suites and Greensleeves galore, but while Christmas songs are written expressly about Christmas, somehow I doubt that when Vivaldi sat down to write the Four Seasons, he was thinking about that new harvest holiday that was becoming all the rage in the colonies. [...]
The spare acoustic folk music of Les Shelleys comes courtesy of two very familiar voices in L.A.'s singer-songwriter circles: Tom Brosseau and Angela Correa (of Correatown ). It's the stuff of sepia-toned photographs and black-and-white movies; the pair met eight years ago and bonded over vintage stuff like Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. Their self-titled album for Fat Cat Records is just this side of quietude, but proof that you don't need volume to be loud. ||| Download: "World Is Waiting for the Sunrise" [...]
Tom Brosseau vindt het leuk om samen te werken, maar hij heeft zo z'n voorkeuren. Zo was hij eerder dit jaar op pad met de even charmante als getalenteerde Shelley Short . En nu brengt hij samen met de al even getalenteerde en charmante Angela Correa een album uit. Tom en Angela namen aan Tom's keukentafel twaalf klassiekers op en deze brengen ze nu als Les Shelleys op de markt. Op het album kom je John Prine's Late John Garfield Blues tegen, maar ook Dylan's The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll. Brosseau en [...]
Tweet There's been a lot of indiepop on Eardrums lately, and it probably says a lot about my listening habits. However, - my musical heart beats for other genres too, and Les Shelleys from San Fransisco represent one of them. Les Shelleys are a new project from FatCat records ' Tom Brosseau and his singing partner Angela Correa . I really liked Brosseau's album "Empty houses are lonely" from a couple of [...]
Tom Brosseau & Angela Correa aka Les Shelleys appear in this video from The New Los Angeles Folk Festival to help raise money through Kickstarter for the fest so it can give more money to charity. The festival, taking place August 7 at HM157, is giving $ to the Environmental Defense Fund so it can [...]
