Americana Flatlands Flashback Digs Out First Aid Kit Plus Shakey and Esme

· Leave a comment ·

Glad you volunteered to head back in time with us on a Throwback Thursday – Americana style! Our first Flatlands Flashback harkens back to the woods of old as First Aid Kit let out The Lion’s Roar in 2012. Haunting and familiar the song was my first experience with Klara and Johanna. The video was a perfect match for the song – a walk through the misty woods seeking a mystery. Enjoy it again!

Set the dial for 2014 and the fiery blend of Shakey and Esme on Dearly Departed. To me, this is one of the songs I pull the covers off of when people ask me why I love this music. I chose the Pandora House as SXSW video version – I love the torn down, porch is burning, can’t feel it anymore than this performance the two showcase here. You can sign me up for Shakey Graves and Esme Patterson any time, any where and I enjoy sharing this one frequently.

Don’t let the time travel lag bother you – hope you enjoyed it and head back here next Thursday for another trip to goodness from the Americana past on americanaflatlands.com!

Flatlands Flashback Time Y’all!

It’s our weekly version of Throwback Thursday – and we do it Americana style. Going way back with the first video Flashback. Tuscon’s The Refreshments bring us “Banditos” from one of Joel’s favorite albums “Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy”. 1996 was a good year for The Refreshments and this shows the fun that Arizona sound gave off.

The second Flatlands Flashback is a storytelling masterpiece from 2008 with The Decemberists. This video version of “The Mariner’s Revenge Song” is a classic. The song is fantastic and Colin and crew are having a ton of fun, as they are known to do… Jump back to 2008 with me and revel in the salt of the sea!
