Shakey Graves – Shakey Graves And The Horse He Rode In On (2-LP Vinyl)

Alejandro Rose-Garcia built his Shakey Graves persona busking with a one-man-band setup, suitcase kick drum and all, before the internet caught on and turned him into one of the more compelling folk-blues storytellers to emerge from Austin in years. This vinyl collecting his early Nobody's Fool and Donor Blues EPs captures that raw, self-sufficient spirit before the wider world came calling, two scrappy documents of an artist figuring out exactly how powerful a single voice and a battered guitar could be.
