When life gives you bandcamp, you browse the shit out of it. And you find yourself listening to music you would not have heard of, ever. Unless you are into folk indie music and like reading about the great Wild Wild West. Banjos, harmonicas, cowboy boots and the rest of such cliches. Actually, screw the image in my head, I am really digging "Unlucky Skin" and that's all that there is to it.

Shakey Graves is not a band but a single gentleman from Texas. I did watch some videos of him performing live - this man is such a talent. Playing simultaneously multiple instruments, singing and making it look so effortlessly.

"Unlucky Skin" is from his album "Roll the Bones" and can be purchased here. Shakey Graves is having several upcoming tour dates in Texas and Florida starting in late December.
