Uncle Sinner - Ballads and Mental Breakdowns

Download

Uncle Sinner is a figment of his own imagination. He holds several degrees in psychological vandalism and enjoys hollering, guitars, banjos, mandolins, and rage.

Amazing 'death-country' from Winnipeg. Chain gang blues/gospel/murder ballads.

William Elliott Whitmore - The Jarret Mitchell demos

http://www.mediafire.com/?98j8ty7cdfijfzx

So i had only ever heard of this demo album. It is mentioned on Wikipedia but because nobody i've found in the last 7 years knows anything about it, I was doubting its existence.
Recently I found this on some Russian filesharing site. It was difficult as I cannot read Russian.

It is William Elliott Whitmore's (supposedly) original demo album, from 1999. Some 4 years prior to the release of his first album, Hymns for the Hopeless. My information could be wrong as I am just going off the wikipedia article.

So perhaps someone has been looking for this. Enjoy!
For anyone who doesn't know who William Elliott Whitmore is, he plays awesome gritty folk-country-americana type music.

Strand of Oaks - Leave Ruin (2009)

Strand Of Oaks is Tim Showalter. He is from Philadelphia. This is delightful folky alt-country stuff.

The Deep Dark Woods - Winter Hours (2009)

http://www.mediafire.com/?kapbn9x6xbwr15m

Band from Saskatoon, SK. This is excellent country-folk music, with lovely harmonies and sparse, dark instrumentation. For fans of such things as The Wooden Sky, The Avett Brothers, or possibly Townes Van Zandt.

'Farewell' and 'All the Money I Had is Gone' are my favourite songs.

Rymodee - Songs of Separation and Ghost Mice Split

http://www.mediafire.com/?6qgkcqcv4jws28t http://www.mediafire.com/?b5audoaa0t4itvz

Rymodee is the lead singer of critically awesome folk-punk band This Is A Pipe Bomb. These two albums are him performing solo. Apparently his name is Rymodee. What sort of name this is, I do not know.

It's kind of like an acoustic version of TBIAPB: country-fied southern punkish folk music. Sounds kinda like Woody Guthrie.

William Elliott Whitmore - Hymns for the Hopeless (2003)

http://www.mediafire.com/?pjbtw3t1hjy

Another of my favourite artists, William Elliott Whitmore, plays a unique brand of dark blues/country. His voice sounds like it should belong to someone much older, and his vocal presence is exemplified on the opening track of this, his debut album. From the a capella opening track to the banjos and guitars through the rest of the album, it's a pretty stellar debut.

I thought a lot of people had heard of William Elliott Whitmore by now, but my artist-popularity-gauge (Last.fm) shows a relatively low amount of listeners. So here ya go.

Plus, look how cool he is:

A.A. Bondy - American Hearts (2008)

http://www.mediafire.com/?mkboxhqtnty

Tracks:
I have now decided that I don't need a track list at the top; all the tracks are properly named and it is redundant

A.A. Bondy is from Alabama and plays a folky alt-country style of music. Reminds me at times of Bob Dylan, Josh Ritter, or a little like The Tallest Man On Earth. It's a really well-written album with some fantastic songs. The perfect thing for a certain type of mood, check it out.
