Subaru commercials have used some very creative and good musicians for backing in their commercials. Example: Gregory Alan Isakov. This ^^^^^. I've been doing this for many many years now. Movies, Commercials, series, and music played over loudspeakers in department/grocery stores. I actually got most of my "80s New Wave" mp3 music collection from back when I was younger and worked at a walmart. I didn't have a smart phone so I would write the songs down on my hand and then look them up and download them at home. I have about 56 gigabytes worth of mp3s in my collection. These are just a few songs I've discovered this way. "Strange Things" by Marlon Williams I believe it was from the Documentary "Wild Wild Country" "Southbound" by Ben Barnes & The Stay All Night Rounders from the movie "Jackie & Ryan" "Live is Life" by Opus on the movie "Take Me Home Tonight" "Laid to Rest" by Lamb of God on the video game " Guitar Hero II " "All my Tears" Sung by Ane Brun on the series "Peaky Blinders" "Can't Stop me Lovin you" by Steelheart, song wasn't in the movie but the singer of this band was the real behind the scenes vocalist of the movie "Rock Star" with Mark Wahlberg & Jennifer Anniston. The pipes on this guy are just insane. His vocal range and the ease and precision in which he hits all the notes is ridiculous. I'm no vocal expert but I can appreciate this guys talent.

IZRL Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 "Like Tears In Rain" By Covenant. Covenant is a Swedish electronic-industrial band that I recently discovered that was formed in Helsingborg in 1986. Not to be mistaken with techno or house music. 1 Quote Link to comment

He sounds like he's straight out of Louisiana or Mississippi circa 1930's. I'll call your C.W. King and I'll raise you "Hard time floor killing blues". This is a recent cover of the original song sung by Skip James in the 30s I believe. They play a short snippet of this song on the film "O brother where art thou", and i just had to find & download it. So far my favorite blues song from that time. So simple, just a Man and his guitar, but so good. 2 Quote Link to comment

I'll top your bet with few brain thumpers. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

IZRL Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 (edited) "In Hell I'll Be In Good Company" By The Dead South. I'm a big fan of music and like something from all genres of music from A-Z. So my music posts are gonna be all over the board, just a heads up 😃. I do prefer country that is pre-electric guitar and bass. So here's some bluegrass.
