+1. I find Bill to be very interesting and talented. And for me, Jason is captivating. To me, he was a most special kind of artist, able to convey emotions in a most haunting way. For newcomers to Jason Molina I suggest picking up "The Magnolia Electric Co" 2013 re-release from Secretly Canadian label. Two discs, basically the same songs. One disc with full band - these can really rock. Remeniscent of Crazy Horse. The other disc is demo versions of the same songs, so stripped down and acoustic. With these two discs you get a great perspective of Jason and his talent: one rocks; one haunts. Superb stuff.
Artists One Should Know
Folks, if you've not heard Bill Callahan AKA (Smog) or Jason Molina, the front man for Magnolia Electric Co. you really are missing out.
These fine artists, (Jason passed last year), are the essence of what I want/need as a listener.
Emotional, personal, introspective... they are the embodiment of what I'd say is "An artist' artist".
