...A Mix of BlackForrestry: End of Summer 2011...

I had plans to post this mix much earlier than this, but I just didn't have the steam to do it. I received the motivation I needed by watching the Richard Hugo video that Doug posted (see previous post). A flood of images and feelings swamped my mind as I watched it...images like the ones from the documentary Harlan County USA (a film that Doug turned me on to...if you haven't figured it out, Mr. Cooper is a constant source of inspiring ideas), and the same emotions that fill me when I hear the music of Blaze Foley. Anyway, it's these same sort of thoughts that birthed this mix. A lot of these songs also put me in that same head space...some more than others. Regardless of the effect that they have on me, hopefully they will have an enjoyable one on you.

  2. Josh...great mix man! Solid thru & thru as I knew it would be. I'm lodged in a jazz daze right now so it took something really good to draw my attention away. Bart Davenport...Jim Sullivan...Jonathan Wilson...Blaze Foley...& oh man, Buffalo Springfield's Kind Woman is a crusher. I'm sure I must have heard it back when I was gathering together Neil's early stuff, but I just don't remember it. Perhaps because he's not leading, I didn't give it the attention it deserved. Thanks man. d

    1. I'm glad that you're diggin' what you're seein'...Thanks for the positive feedback. Currently I have a couple of the Peace Be With You shirts for sale on a friends Etsy account....http://www.etsy.com/listing/93079467/peace-be-with-you-screenprinted-tshirt

      There are only a couple left in that color. I do have a larger selection of sizes for that design, but in a different color scheme (a VERY dark brown- almost looks black- on a yellow shirt). What designs were you interested in? Thanks again for checking out our stuff.

  4. Josh, this is so goddamned good. I have enjoyed all the BlackForrestry mixes and everything on this site for a long time. Whenever you put one of these up I find myself discovering new artists and digging into their catalog. Thanks again.
