Biats like his fellow Corkie @Turenne has some pretty oddball music tastes, dodgy enough at times. Has been called out a few times here.
Mostly individual songs from AHWT, Tallahassee, and The Sunset Tree. Look, thereās no questioning Darnielleās brilliance as a songwriter, but I tire of him after a while. Among the great American songwriters of that rough genre, Joe Henry is my favorite, I could listen to him all night.

Joe Henry: Richard Pryor addresses a Tearful Nation (with Ornette Coleman)
Havenāt heard of this chap Labane, in work atm so canāt listen to it, Iāll revert later.
Iām a big Wilco fan, but when Iām in the mood for some Americana, Son Volt, who were the other offshoot from Uncle Tupelo, are hard bet. The bass player and pedal steel player are from the Joe Henry band in This Close to You.

My favorite Wilco song, Radio Cure from Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. RIP Jay Bennett, musician and producer extraordinaire.
Iāll put joe Henry on the list @anon7035031
Maybe I was a bit presumptuous on the Mountain Goats, Iāve only listened to a few songs but theyāve all been excellent.
Good call.
Isnāt he related to Madonna in some way?
A crack on the head is what you get for not asking.
