Jack Johnson. Acoustic, laid back, amazing!
Kings of Convenience are already a group I’m fond of, I’ll have to check out the others, thanks peedub!
Jack Johnson is also pretty great, although his stuff can be a little sameish.
Cheers guys. More suggestions are welcome and appreciated! :) I have a long train journey through the night, which luckily has WiFi so I can abuse the iTunes store.
I love the Pat McGee Band. They were a local gig here in Richmond, VA in the late 90’s until they broke out and went national. Their sound went to a more pop angle after that though and I kind of stopped keeping up with them. Anyways this is their first album and it’s got some great tracks it’s called From the Wood.
Johnathan Richman, Jose Gonzales, Leonard Cohen,
Jude is great. His first album 430 N Harper Ave is the best in my opinion. His album “Sarah” is also really good.
Beyond Words by Bobby McFerrin
@mcbealer- I just saw something with Bobby McFerrin composing a symphony in Germany. He was amazing. His vocals weren’t words, but instrument-like.
yeah, I love listening to him while I make jewelry.
How about Bon Iver or Damien Jurado, And, although not entirely acoustic, “Boxer” by The National is my go-to of last for relaxation time.
Just off the top of my head, these r some of my favs that I like to relax to: Bright Eyes, Azure Ray, Explosions in the Sky, The Format, Iron & Wine, Ray Lamontagne, and Jack Johnsonas well. Happy listening! :)
Andrew Bird, M. Ward, The Mountain Goats, Bright Eyes, Band of Horses, Iron and Wine, Bob Dylan,
Band of Horses! I forgot about them. They are awesome. Thanks jamms.
If you are talking really laid back, then check out the acoustic work of Phil Keaggy, John Renbourne, Bert Jansch & Earl Klugh.
Jollie Holland, Neko Case, always Bob Dylan
