I;m working through the Gems on VHS youtube channel. "GemsOnVHS is a long running series of intimate, off-stage performances by songwriters we love." -- I really love people just playing instruments and singing with minimal production, and that's what I get from Gems on VHS. There's a lot of great music there, but here are some recent standouts:
Cat Clyde - All the black
That voice!
Nick Hans - Highballin' everywhere I go
He manages to turn a potentially hum-drum tune into something that drives along.
Dwight Hawkins - Hey whiskey
Everything about this is amazing. The hard finger picking, the song, all of it.
Sabine McCalla - Tall lonesome cowboy
I can't work out why she's not famous yet. Have a listen to Baby, please don't go.
I'm also trying to find more music not in English. Here's Juan Cirerol - La muchacha de las tierras lejanas
Art of Noise. I'm noticing a synth wave growing and this is my favorite 80's group. In No Sense? Nonsense! is a classic.
Ghetts' new album, Conflict Of Interest, and the new Nick Cave/Warren Ellis album.
1970's Progressive.
Illinois Speed Press.
White Noise, An Electric Storm in Hell.
Iron Butterfly.
Westfauster.
An American Metaphysical Circus (Joe Byrd and the Field Hippies)
Yours Forever More.
1980's
The Kings.
Off Broadway.
