Songs for a Blue guitar, love that album.

I'd vote for songs for a blue guitar as the best too, but I always skip the song "Make like paper". I really dislike the part when he starting making those squeeky noises with the guitar. My ears hurt. I wouldn't call the album very exicting, but it's just clean nice songs which will make you fall asleep pretty quick, in a good way

You could also check out mark kozeleks soloalbum "what's next to the moon" it has some good song, especially the title track.

"songs for a blue guitar" is the one I listened most.. but also have and like the self-titled one.. its pretty good stuff..

Ocean beach...

Ocean beach...

I'd go for this one as well...but actually I don't have all their albums so I can't compare...*sigh*

 

[Deliverance6]

At first I just liked the really depressing stuff by them but after awhile Ive liked 98% of Red House Painters stuff....Id have to say Ocean Beach for a fav. but then again my opinions change on a frequent basis so that could change tomorrow...
Glad you brought them up though.....they are definately one of my favorite bands, I actually have a "falling asleep" playlist of them but I certainly dont JUST listen to them while falling asleep...
Bravo on starting this thread!!!

ok, thanx all, i'll definitely have to get ocean beach and songs for a blue guitar now!

cheerz
