Ben Sollee and Daniel Martin Moore - "Dear Companion"

[Brand-new-123]

http://www.dearcompanion.com/Images/benanddaniel.jpg
The album (produced by Jim James of My Morning Jacket and Monsters of Folk) just came out today, and the whole thing is streaming on this site (http://www.dearcompanion.com/). I'd say it's well worth your time.

That's the purchase link, not that anyone's interested.

Sub pop, I like sub pop! What sort of music is this?

[Brand-new-123]

Bluegrassy folkish stuff

[Captain Awesome]

I love Ben Sollee. Don't know the other guy though.
I'm listening to "How to See the Sun Rise" right now actually.

[Smash Adams]

You forgot to mention that Jim James produced this, what I've heard from it has been gorgeous

True, I'll add that to the OP. This is such a good album all around.

This album is stronger than what I've heard of either Ben or Daniel's solo work.

I'm listening to this today. It's really good.

Picked it up in Louisville the other day and really dig it. One of the more enjoyable CDs I've acquire as of late.

The record is tied together by the them of Mountaintop Removal Mining. I believe most of the proceeds from the sales go to combat that process.
