Tyler Ramsey

I can't stop listening to this song by Tyler Ramsey called "A Long Dream". The best word I can use to describe it is "hypnotic". The lyrics are pretty minimal, but this song is all about mood. Tyler Ramsey is the guitarist of "The Band of Horses", a popular indie group in their own right (Check out "The Funeral" by them). He's is an exceptional guitar player, one of those who makes you wonder whether there are 2 people playing together or overdubs done in the studio. But, although I've never seen him live, I'm told it is all him playing on one track. The main riff on this song is kind of a rip off of Jimmy Page's "Bron Yr Aur", but the melody is all original. Ramsey just released his first album, which is called "A Long Dream About Swimming Across the Sea", which I have just ordered from Amazon and should be receiving in a few days. Enjoy!

Here's a live version of "A Long Dream". I actually prefer the studio version because of the hypnotic effect of the electronic effects added in the studio, but this is pretty damn good too.


Here's a video of The Band of Horses song "The Funeral". I can't get enough of this song!
