Vermont Sounds .... Almost Wish I Was There

I've always loved picking up compilation and sampler recordings, but while flipping through a box of $1 compact discs, I never would have guessed that I'd come across one from 2014 by various musicians from Vermont. There's some Singer/Songwriter and Contemporary Folk Music gems on here. If I didn't love Oregon so much, I might well be tempted to pick up and run off to Vermont and experience the New England Autumn represented on the cover art.

Last nights playlist continued tonight. Because I fell asleep last night sitting, listening and typing and I'm having trouble falling asleep tonight so maybe there will be a repeat effect. Not to imply that the music bores me in any way.

• The Apples In Stereo - Strawberryfire .... Obvious Beatles Strawberry Fields Forever influence in the sound.
• The Verner Pantons - Penelope Pinwheel
• Cloud Nothings - Internal World .... "I'm not the one who's always right."
• The Black Angels - I'd Kill For Her
• Reigning Sound - North Cackalacky Girl .... Where is North Cackalacky? And is there a South Cackalacky?
• Heartless Bastards - Sway
• They Might Be Giants - Lucky Ball and Chain
• Filthy Friends - Editions of You
• Aztec Camera - Oblivious .... Among all these bands that I've never heard of, one finally emerges from the early morning fog bearing a known name from the early 1980's.
• Big Thief - Haley
