There's a singer/ songwriter from Wisconsin (not Bon Iver.) His lyrics are stunning, musicianship is incomparable, vocal rasp a product of too many smokey nights; whiskey spilt on the floor.... His name is Cory Chisel and he's truly amazing. Ironically, the above all relates to Bob Dylan too, minus Wisconsin and add Minnesota. These guys would be perfect for a collaboration. If Prince and Bon Iver showed up then Minnesota and Wisconsin would be fully represented.
I saw Cory and Adriel Harris, the female in the below video, at City Winery in NYC just before I moved up to Beantown. I was blown away. The harmonies are absolutely dead on. Check out "Tennessee" from their recent full length record entitled "Death Won't Send A Letter." By reading the liner notes you'll see how powerful this guy is. Guest artists on the record range from Carl Broemel of "My Morning Jacket" to writing partner Brendan Benson of "The Raconteurs." Really solid stuff.
Cheers.
