Chuck Ragan & Elliott Smith
I picked up Chuck Ragan's Feast or Famine this weekend. It's a solid album from start to finish that strangely reminds me of Bruce Springsteen's We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions. Ragan is the former front man of Hot Water Music. Matt Skiba is one of several artists that guests on Feast or Famine, he lends vocals and guitar to The Boat and Do What You Do.
I also grabbed a tribute album to Elliott Smith called, to: elliott from: portland.
Jake Portrait's band, To Live and Die in LA covers Kings Crossing on this album. I have to say, I was a little more than excited to buy a CD in NYC with my friend's name on the CD jacket - so proud of you Marty! Other Portland bands appearing on this album include The Decemberists, Crosstide and Lifesavas.
