Yeah, those are many bands that Uncut Magazine likes, which is swell! They clue me in to a lot of bands past and present, with a distinct sense of which are Americana if you like it.

Layne Staley too. First album: "Went into rehab… thank you very much and can I borrow fifty bucks?"

Best play ever, man.

Krist Novoselic is a phenomenal bassist. Lounge Act all day.

Nathaniel Rateliff ain't a blues guitarist; he is in fact a Big Boy and tremendous modern soul-rock belter, leader of the Night Sweats. Funny shit - this song is in a Lipton iced tea commercial, cut off far before "Son of a bitch! Just gimme a drink…" https://www.youtube.com/wat…

I registered solely because of this article too, so, uh, good job guys, though it was to defend Adam Clayton (!). I'm somewhere in the back of this beautiful army repping for R.E.M as well. Picturing Nightswimming playing as Clay strides past String at some gala, looking straight ahead but flipping his hand backward…

Try these if you're so inclined and haven't already; no hard feelin's:
I Got Id
Long Road
Down
Smile
Red Mosquito
Life Wasted
Worldwide Suicide
Unemployable
Love Boat Captain
Johnny Guitar

Yield is sooo good - Given to Fly, Low Light, MFC, In Hiding. Also big on Satan's Bed from Vitalogy.

Porcelina is goddamn amazing but I happily can imagine what you're describing.

Moment of Surrender's bassline is phenomenal.
