Reddit mentions: The best north american music

The Ghosts That Haunt Me by The Crash Test Dummies.

It uses a badass Gustave Doré engraving from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

This is a nearly perfect album, by the way. CTDs went on to really suck with their radio stuff, but this album was a largely unknown gem. Such richly layered arrangements. Guitar, bass, pedal steel banjo, mandolin, harmonica, accordion, violin, cello, piano, keyboards, pennywhistle. It's traditional, good, rich, fun music. This was before the lead singer discovered what his voice could really do. Later he went on to over-ham it and ruin songs, but in these he's great, as is the woman's voice in many of the songs. If you've heard any song off this album, it's the Superman song, but that's really a gimmick. The others are the good stuff. The title track is my favorite.

90% of these were cheaper (some even $10 cheaper) *BRAND NEW including shipping from Amazon. This is not a deal at all, this dude is severely ripping you off and profiting.

/u/watchinglightning and /u/deadbodydisco just look over this list and see what I'm saying. Also, when you purchase from Amazon Smile, it donates to a charity of your choice.

There are a lot of styles you should check out. Some you will like and grow to hate. Some you will hate and grow to love.

Guitarists:

Just explore it and learn more about the artists you like. It will lead you to other people you haven't heard yet.

I have a physical Northern Hues CD, I got it from an Amazon seller. Definitely an official thing. It was about £5, but the price has jumped QUITE high now.
