The Non-metal music thread

[robertlouis]

Metal, in its various guises, swamps every other genre in the What Are You Listening To Now thread.

I'd be up for a thread which caters for music which depends slightly less on volume, guitar pyrotechnics and satanism, and more on melody and intelligible lyrics.

Anyone else?

A great song about exile from Scotland. I used to do this solo on mandolin. Brought the house down every time. And I still choke at the line "Say goodbye to the Clyde and all the yards". One day.....

I'm a huuuuge blues fan personally, old school and new.



Also... Tom Waits. OMG Tom Waits!

I love Tom Waits too. Magical songwriter.

You might enjoy this, Amy.
