I was reminded of how much I like this band this past weekend. I won’t get into a full-fledged bio as a quick visit to AMG will tell you what you need to know, but at the heart of Songs: Ohia is prolific singer/songwriter Jason Molina. And yes, his high, fragile voice does have an uncanny resemblance to Neil Young in both tenor and lyricism (I’d say that’s a compliment). Take a listen to two of my favorite tracks: “Captain Badass” off 1999's Axxess & Ace, and “Farewell Transmission” from 2003’s Magnolia Electric Co, which is also the moniker he now records under since that release.
