The accordian

[journolud]

I really like this instrument when employed to moody and melancholy effect but would struggle to name many songs/artists that use it. In fact all that springs to mind is Elvis Costello- The long honeymoon. Can anyone suggest anything else for me to Spotify?

Paul Simon's Graceland album.
The Felice Brothers.
Clifton Chenier.
The Chieftains often had an accordion in the mix.




Failing that, there's always Foster and Allen - may the Lord have mercy upon you if you listen to that shite, though.

The accordion has become closely connected to folk music so if you're not that keen on that form then there's not too much else.
Try Phil Cunningham , I knew him as a youth and he is one of the leaders in the world of accordioning ( if there is such a word)
