THANK YOU for introducing me to this cool cat and his cool album, Kiley. I dig it!

I dig me some cosmic country. The first 2 artists I think of in this genre are Kurt Vile and the band Night Moves. I'm not sure if either of them are technically "Cosmic Country" but....I think there's a connection there.

You are certainly most welcome, Brad! One of those artists that I'm screaming, "WHY ISN'T EVERYONE TALKING ABOUT THIS?" so I'm so happy when I get messages like this.

KV definitely has some cosmic tendencies. I absolutely love Night Moves, and never hear anything outside of geeking out about them with my one friend that knows the goodness. As cool as Pennied Days is, I thought Can You Really Find Me has been their best. It's insane how John Pelant aaaaalmost sounds like Stevie Nicks on that record. Talk about a band that is overdue if they're still active!

You are the first person I have ever talked to about Night Moves. This is so cool! It's hard to believe I've been following them for 11 years or so. I am still very partial to their first album, Colored Emotions. But I went back and listened to "Mexico" and I'll be dang if you aren't correct about the Stevie Nicks-thing. I had never noticed that! Gonna listen to the rest of it again today. I am ready for a new one from them, too!
