Magnolia Electric Company

Label: Secretly Canadian
Genre: Folk, Rock

Apparently there's this guy named Jason Molina whose jangly voice and honky-tonk geetar owe a great debt to Neil Young and who had a band called songs: ohia. Apparently he renamed his band after one of the latter band's album titles. And apparently the hazy barroom rock sounds as sweet as Tennessee bourbon whiskey on Magnolia Electric Company's debut live release. If you're wondering why all the parenthetical talk, it's because Molina's as new to me as he might (or might not) be to you. And apparently I'm kicking myself for not discovering him about five years ago.
