Songs that feature the square neck acoustic lap steel guitar, weissenborn, and dobro.
I did not expect two P.F. Sloan rarities (I guess) in VG+/NM condition to show up in a $5 bin at a rural thrift store in the middle of nowhere.
Found at least five surprisingly interesting records in the same bin. Lucky day driving around in the rain.
Just as the title states. I’ll start -
Paul Simon - April Come She Will
"This song was borne out of trying and failing to live on an intentional community in Stone County, Arkansas, a gorgeous place. At its simplest, it’s bucolic: the power of love is the power of nature, is the remedy of the granny-witch and the herbalist, the song of the sparrow and the pouch of the opossum." - WC
Hey everyone,
If you’re a fan of the infectious energy, raw acoustic drive, and traditional folk roots that Trio Mandili brings to their music, I think you’re going to love this track.
It captures that same hypnotic, organic energy that instantly hooks you. Give it a spin and let me know if it hits the same spot for you!
Адна з менш вядомых, але вельмі прыгожых беларускіх народных песень. Цікава, колькі з вас ведалі яе раней?
Ой пайду я гукаючы,
Шчасце й долю шукаючы...
Будзем рады пачуць, ці чулі вы яе раней і якія яшчэ падобныя беларускія народныя песні вам падабаюцца.
It breaks my heart in a million different places
Hope to be able to pick like that man someday.

Four nights ago, around 11:30 PM, we heard an incredible song playing at MakaMaka restaurant in Barcelona, Spain.
The mobile signal was bad, so we recorded a sample of the song.
This is the recording: https://vocaroo.com/1aR5NPpc2cMn
We immediately tried to identify it, but... nothing.
Here's what we've already tried:
- Shazam
- Google (using multiple lyric combinations)
- YouTube / Content ID
No matches anywhere, not even for the very distinct riff at 1:00 (last 18 seconds of the recording)
The song sounds like professional studio recording with a male vocalist. The style is somewhere between fantasy folk, Celtic folk, folk rock, and light folk metal. The last 30 seconds of the recording showcase the band's sound particularly well.
Some lyrics I could decipher (not sure they're 100% correct though):
... infinite stroll
in disenchanted lands
...with a wink in his eyes
and he squeezed every heart
with a laugh and a...
...
the Trickster the young man...
...
As he walked through the forest
the stars shined so bright
His heart filled with pride
and thrill of the fight
And somewhere behind him
the shadows...
he could not resist
... in the ground
shadows at tower
A big figure loomed
with terrible power
A mask of a giant
with skull on his face
The infinite stroll
now lost in the chase
So hid behind the ... of
courage and cheer
Was sometimes the...
... just filled with fear
In forest enchanted
where all legends dwell...
The phrase "The Infinite Stroll" was repeated at least two or three times, so we originally assumed it was the song title. Surprisingly, searching for that phrase leads nowhere.
The song tells what seems to be a coherent fantasy story about The Trickster, a journey through an enchanted forest, courage, fear, and a giant-like figure wearing a skull mask.
At this point we're wondering if it's:
Does anyone recognize:
Any ideas are welcome, even if you're not completely sure. We've hit a dead end, and this has turned into a surprisingly fun mystery to solve.
Thanks in advance!
