My recommendations 2006:
Beneath Waves by Karl Blau
Karl Blau: Beneath Waves
K Records 1/24/2006
Available at Emusic
If one assumes that today's freak-folk represents the culmination of all Americana, one might be led to believe that Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger were the only American musicians that ever lived. Beneath Waves illustrates that Americana is more than folk-rock protest songs. Blau has fashioned this oceanic concept album from the sounds of both coasts - Beach Boys, Dinosaur Jr. and even Pixies. The melodies of Blau's songs prove to be just as infectious as those of his forebearers.
