The best Kentuckyseven-album of 2013 came from Jason Isbell, his Southeastern knocked us down and out.

Wonder why? Give this live take of Cover Me Up a minute of your life. It’s a chilling experience – very emotional.

Badass Shakey Graves

Shakey Graves is one of the most badass Austin songwriters and musicians around. Kentuckyseven absolutely adore the man also known as Alejandro Rose-Garcia – and his bootdrummin-hobostyle-moonshining excellence.

Take a minute of this almighty Wednesday and check out his song Dusty Lion live from SXSW. It´s worthwile.

Possessed By Paul James

This is awesome. A one-man-alt.country-folk-trooper that breaks the rules and makes magic all over. Konrad Wert aka Possessed By Paul James has got a place in our K7-heart forever and ever. Truly bewitching.

Mr Wert is from Immokalee, Florida and now hangs out in Austin, Texas. His latest album There Will Be Nights When I’m Lonely was released Oct 29, 2013, via Hillgrass Bluebilly Records.

Listen to Where Does All The Time Go below and ya´ll see what I mean. Chillin’, straight-shooting, bone-crunching stuff.

Okkervil River – The Stage Names

Jonas

Bandet kommer till Way Out West i Slottsskogen i sommar. Oh broder, vad jag ska se den konserten.

Okkervil River är från Austin, Texas. Bandet lirar en musik som fullständigt vibrerar av … ja, vad kallas det där nu? Det där som gör att man lyssnar lite extra noga? Trycker örat mot högtalaren. Det där nerviga, äkta, skitiga? Beats me. Men jag vet att jag gillar det.

Sjumannabandet har dessutom den goda smaken att ge ut en bonusplatta, med alternativa versioner av originallåtarna. Något för andra band att ta efter.

Okkervil är indie med stil. Bara att älska.

Betyg: Sex av sju K7´s.
