Thank you!

And I'd love to hear some of that - I'd never heard of Gillian Welch, but I've heard good things about Neko Case and Emmylou Harris, so I'm curious. :)

Oh, I love promoting music, rah...my connection is being terrible here, but here's a few things; they're all on box.net (so you can stream as well as download) and are .mp3 files.

Elvis Presley Blues ~ Gillian Welch (This is my favourite Gillian song, and a favourite song in general)

Lady Pilot ~ Neko Case (I don't have my favourite Neko-stuff on my laptop, unfortunately, but this one is quite great regardless. Also, have I pushed The New Pornographers on you ever? She's lead singer for some of their stuff and it's amaaaaazingly good. Girl can SING).

For Emmylou I do not know how to narrow things down because I LOVE her. She's another "oh holy hell can she ever sing" one. Here's a couple:

Orphan Girl ~ Emmylou Harris (it's actually written and originally performed by Gillian Welch, but Emmylou's version is far superior)

Boy From Tupelo ~ Emmylou (what can I say, I like songs about Elvis. And Elvis himself).

I think these all give a good taste of the alt.country (for lack of a better term) sort of style of country...I still have a playlist poking around of a country/folk mix I made, I should upload it when I have a good connection again. :D

Thanks so much! I haven't listened to them yet (still sneaking onto my work computer), but I've got them saved and will give them a listen once I'm home again.

And I've never heard The New Pornographers, either, so push away. :D
