I am kind of addicted to Cass McCombs right now, like a Beatles + Ryan Adams + refrigerator. Chill.

I'm really digging this new album by Cass McCombs... Just really really relaxing guitar ballads and riffs. Cass McCombs adds a retro bassline to a very sweet song on Dreams-Come-True-Girl. Jonesy Boy is like if you dropped a bunch of ice cubes on top of vintage 70's Beatles.

It's retro alt country / indie rock... some songs pick up some of the modern rhythmic repetition of Interpol and others, but still others have a down-home electric guitar twanging away.

Good for a mellow mood. Which we could all use more of these days.

Commuting on an aircraft from San Diego to Atlanta, this album definitely helps pass the time while reading a good book. It's also raining here in Atlanta and it's perfect. Great find!

Hey Garry, check out Mayer Hawthorne. He's got this vintage thing going on that I just can't get enough of. And if you read about him, seems like an all around really cool guy.
