by Dave Alvin
Dave Alvin has the sexiest growl in music. And he's a hell of a guitar player. And his songwriting makes me jealous.

Instrumentals Vol. 1
by Darlingside
I love these guys so much. Not only for their vocal harmonies (which are missing on this instrumental) but because they are such freaking talented musicians with sick arrangements.

The Firewatcher's Daughter
by Brandi Carlile
This album is my muse. I actually got to sing with Brandi Carlile a few years ago - a total bucket list moment. I aspire to keep as pure a vision as she has done through all her albums.
