Who I am listening Too

I have just recently bought Bon Iver's debut album "For Emma, Forever Ago" and I can not stop playing this album. Then I heard the story behind the album and I became even more intrigued. To write the songs for this album Justin Vernon (the man behind Bon Iver) went out to his Father's cabin in the woods of Wisconsin with a desire for isolation and reflection. With guitar and pen in hand he wrote down the aching of his heart. The result is a very simplistic, rustic album as Justin is vulnerable with his listeners as he shares his pains and struggles. Songs "Flume" and "Re:Stacks" are part of the albums heart and soul almost taking you to the !Wisconsin Cabin. "Skinny Love" as by far the song with the most commercial appeal while "Wolves (Acts 1 and 2)" builds to an epic end. The final word is this. If the ideal of great music for you is an acoustic guitar and a microphone, then you are missing out on one of the greatest, most intimate albums out there.
