Long time music lover looking for new music.


Now I'm fast approaching the half century mark. I started listen to music as a kid playing my mom's 45. Beatles, Ricky Nelson, Elvis, Frank Sinatra etc. I've never stopped. I moved overseas 7 years ago and don't listen to the radio here. I'm looking for some new music especially Indie Rock.
Here are some that I found that I can recommend. Thanks to all of you that respond in advance.

Go preview these albums on eMusic.com or Amazon to get a feel for them. Or just download them, I'm sure you'll like 90% off this list.

Thanks a lot. I have already started checking some of them out and enjoying them. I also like some of the new stuff that has the folk feel to it. I really love the acoustic guitar. I also like Big band and female jazz also. Really a lot of everything. But I still listen to the Rock primarily.
They're not really under the radar, but if you haven't listened to Nickel Creek, they are some good mainstream "newgrass." Abigail Washburn does some very cool stuff combining traditional mandarin speaking with american folk music.

And if you're listening to Iron and Wine I'm sure you're already listening to Ray LaMontagne. He's just a genius with a beautiful raspy voice.

I would also suggest Tilly and the Wall for some really cool pop mixed with stomping percussions. Aberfeldy is also fun summery pop.
