So, backstory: however many years ago it was that I was writing "Blue Valentine"*, I went searching for versions of "Deep Ellum Blues". I found several on iTunes, and one of those that made the soundtrack cut was by the Marley Higgins Band. I finished the story, sold it to Aeon, posted the soundtrack on my website and went on my merry way.
Last November, Paul Schimert found me on Facebook and asked about BV. After I flailed for a while--because really, musicians asking about my stories; how crazy and awesome is that?--I sent him a copy of the story, and he sent me a copy of The Elmwood Tracks.
I've been meaning to pimp them for months now, and am finally getting around to it. Growly vocals, gorgeous haunting guitars, and songs about sailors and eschatology. There is no bad here.
I'm sharing my second-favorite song, "Hell Bound", a cheerful sailing sort of song:

My favorite-favorite is "End Times", which you can listen to on their MySpace. "Fork Tongue" comes in third.
Here is a (not great quality) video of them covering "Hey Joe." One of these days I may make![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
matociquala go to New York with me so I can see a show and fangirl them in person.
*He's an obese coffee-fueled vampire hunter from the Mississippi Delta. She's a beautiful middle-aged college professor on her way to prison for a crime she didn't commit. They fight crime! I really hope this story sees print one day, since it's one of my favorites.
