OMG, not the accordion, they bellowed. I get the disdain – lazy, vapid musicians misuse them like mandolin trills and their sax and guitar solos. ie poorly. Played honestly they can express any emotion or mood you want, making them priceless to cash-strapped musicians. I’ve picked these songs accordionly.
(For those linking in from a social media post, the Irish Rovers and Texas Tornados had to be cut due to space. Sorry.)
From each accordian to his opinions, to each accordian to his own opinions — nice selection there Tincanman. How ’bout some Tom Waits too, mebbe from his Rain Dogs album?
Yup, that’d fit!
