Biting Other Blogs: Adam Carroll & Michael O’Connor

Biting Other Blogs is an occasionally occurring feature that will direct your attention to a specific blog post or two that, most likely, I wish I had posted myself. Giving credit where credit is due, I typically wont blab too much, except to encourage you to get up on whatever blog I am highlighting…

The term “Texas Country” or “Texas Music” is about as general as a term can be when describing music. The fact is, sometimes I hear a record and think, “man, that sounds like a  ”Texas Record”. Records from Owen Temple, Susan Gibson, Tejas Brothers and Austin Collins have made me feel that way over the last couple of years. A new one to that collection is Adam Carroll and Michael O’Connor’s release, Hard Times. Great folk-flavored country that relies primarily upon acoustic instrumentation, this album just hit me where I needed to be hit, I suppose. I am not the only one…

• Jeff over at Sounds Country has had a lot to say about the album…

• Jeff also asks both Caroll and O’Connor about their favorite albums…

• My friends in Twangville dig the album also…
