Clint Niosi - Good Records 6/28/08 from You and Yours on Vimeo. Hmmm. Hi. I..ve just listened to your songs. It..s something about you, that makes you do just that, listen. ARE YOU OK?............................................................... This might sound strange to you, I don..t even know you. But you have a sad sad thing about you, and my heart just filles up with these emotional feelings when I listen to your songs. I love the first one!! NO more no less, just loving it............................................................................................................................................................................................................................. If you just do what you love, the rest WILL sove itself. If you think of the world as an illusion, things get easier.......................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Hi Clint, Listening to "City Girl." Likin the mellow sound you have and the lyrics are really good. So who is the city girl? Euan........................................................................................................................................................................................................................ C- The admissions desk is on the far left, on the first floor. It's 11:31 this lovely morning and in this otherwise silent sanctuary I hear sound. And it's loud, and I recognize it. I hear the admissions desk playing your music(!) at maximum volume from across the full length of the museum entry. I telephone down to Jamie at the downstairs desk; she says you had given her a cd last night. Well, that's what you get for giving music to people-- a play across the entire museum. ........j...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................Hi- So I'm totally crazy about your song Living a Good-Bye. it remeinds so much of my own life. I know I said that before but, serioulsy keep up the good work. -Ash Kansas City Missouri....................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The Sound of Dead Horses Beaten Against Cold Shoulders was named one of the 20 best Texas albums of 2008 by the Fort Worth Star Telegram.

The Sound of Dead Horses Beaten Against Cold Shoulders also received an honorable mention in the Dallas “Quick” list of best albums of 2008.

After a decade of championing the seldom ventured seedy underbelly of the DFW folk scene, 2008 saw the unveiling of Clint Niosi’s most ambitious work to date, “The Sound of Dead Horses Beaten Against Cold Shoulders”. The album is a cornucopia of lyrically heavy roots/folk/rock music covered with lush horn and string harmonies. The Fort Worth Weekly noted Clint’s “quavering, Donovan-ian voice, plummeting and soaring vocal melodies, and gently finger-picked, harmonious acoustic guitar steeled by moments of dissonance.” On the new album Clint examines topics including, several versions of the afterlife, the subjective nature of truth, overactive idealism, and perseverance. “The Sound...” has been described by some as “Andrew Bird meets Magnetic Fields meets Led Zeppelin III”, however Clint feels the title to be an apt description in the driest humor.

I think that's so neat! It's cool that your cds were dispersed so far, instead of just around your area. I love finding new and excellent music when I'm not really expecting to. :D

Any plans to play shows up here in Washington ever?

Nice to meet you too! 

Today I was perusing the cds at the library, and I happened upon your album (quite a title you gave it, I was terribly curious).  I think it's just wonderful in every way, and wanted to tell you so. :)
