Sweet selection .3

A little bit of folk energy.

CHUCK RAGAN - Feast or Famine - 2007

Chuck Ragan was the singer and guitarist of the American punk-rock band Hot Water Music during about 12 years until they split-up in 2005 (they just reformed back recently).

This is his very first solo-album. My personal favourite, although Gold Country, the last one to date, is pretty good too.
I saw him and his great accompanying band during their European Tour last year and I can tell you it was one of the best shows I ever assisted to.
And believe me, I've seen a lot!


Great inspiring country/folk music.
Full of positive energy and great melodies.
Carried by Chuck's unique and great voice.

Maybe like a modern Johny Cash...

Highly recommended!

"One listen to Feast Or Famine, and it is undeniable that the deep, gruff voice that once screamed powerful punk anthems belongs to none other than Chuck Ragan. The former Hot Water Music frontman has become a musical troubadour, writing stripped-down acoustic songs that retain the same passion evident in his punk rock career. Feast or Famine beautifully captures the sound of a gifted singer/songwriter as the journeys into the next chapter of his musical life, with an acoustic guitar in hand."

DIGGER BARNES - Time has come - 2009

He comes from Hamburg, Germany.
But plays American folk pretty well.
This is his very first full-lenght release.
I saw him opening for Chuck Ragan during his European Tour last year and it was quite good.
I recommend you to give it a listen.

"Time Has Come is a gothic americana masterpiece influenced by preachers, snakes, full moons, vampires and plenty of liquor."
