free record alert: some dark holler

Posted by doubter on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012

i go through phases in which i envision what my record, if i ever made one, would sound like. my main goal would be to create an acoustic version of it takes a nation of millions to hold us back, but that would require a lot of work, none of which i am prepared to tackle. but, damn, i have been wanting to do something like that for years. when i say years, im talking like at least ten. maybe this decade?

then there are records, free ones at that, like some dark holler’s debut ep, that sound more manageable to accomplish. that is 1. i had talent 2. i had a good voice 3. i had a lovely female accompaniment and 4. everything else that goes into making a record. what they’ve created is definitely in my wheelhouse of what “my record” would sound like. enough about my hopes and dreams, and lets talk about some dark holler’s ep. they got all that i mentioned above, and then some. this is perfect soundtrack for sitting on the back porch, middle of the night, drinking some beers, smoking and enjoying a good rain as it dances across the tin roof. even if that particular situation doesnt present itself, its still a damn fine record/ep and is more than worth your time. oh, and yeah its free, and even if it werent it would be worth whatever the hell theyre charging. grab it here via this is america music.
