Hailing from Seattle, by way of Denver, Sera Cahoone used to play the drums in the bands Carissa’s Weird and the slightly amazing Band Of Horses. But she’s out on her own now taking the alt-country route and doing one helluva good job. Neko Case, watch out!

This talented lady wrote a bunch of folky tunes that are as sweet as they are instantly memorable. Her smoky voice goes well with the acoustic guitar and with plenty of additional pedal steel, banjo and the occasional violin, things are only getting better. It’s hard to pick a favorite track on an album full of gems so I’m not gonna. Just know that if Americana is something you like to listen to, you should go out and buy your copy of “Only As The Day Is Long” today.

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
