Isbells - Stoalin' (2012)

This is an achingly beautiful collection of folk pop songs carefully constructed around an eclectic array of musicians that wouldn't be out of place in a market square. I won't be the first to admit that I discovered them watching the Trivago ads, albeit very late as this was released in 2012. Crosby, Stills and Nash, Neil Young, Nick Drake, Joni Mitchell and Phoenix Foundation spring to mind and the song Elation featured in the ad reminds me of Florence and the Machine aka Dog Days which launched the whole folk pop revival. All this yet they have an individuality about them thats all their own. Get this and their debut and listen to Reunite, its the most perfect folk song you will ever hear. I'll be very interested in the imminent third album from this Belgian outfit as they're a band to watch.
