GAME - Recommend one band/artist and one compilation for others

I'll throw out Clem Snide who have been around since 1991 although really it's mostly one guy. Technically Alt Country though I don't really think of them as that. Hard to describe. Musically very catchy with very good musicianship and a lot of attention to the arrangements. Lyrically very sarcastic and caustic with dark humor throughout. The go to album is:


Moment in the Sun was a minor hit though few people realize that it is a parody of a Jewel song. In that context it is funny as hell as are a lot of their songs. Moment in the Sun


Your Favorite Music is also very good and Meat of Life is solid.

Compilation album - not sure if this is what you have in mind but



It was produced by Emmylou Harris and has some very solid performances by a variety of bands from the Pretenders to Wilco to Elvis Costello to The Cowboy Junkies.

And I agree with Kafka - The Silos "Cuba" is very good.

Band:

The London Souls

Don't know what compilations means so here is an entire London Souls set link:
