I like Gauthier well enough, but there's something about B that really hooks me.

The chick in A sounds like she's copying Jagger, circa Wild Horses. More cowboy stuff, only this time it's an ageing alcoholic, rather than a Village Person. I like it all, to an extent. Saddle up!
I like B more. Is it a genuine retro thing, or is it a contemporary pastiche, I don't know, but I could do an LP of it, no problem.

I've taken to listening to these while I edit my photos on my other, ancient, Mac, rather than trying to comment on them as they play, thus freeing up my hands from trotting out the same old alienated and irrelevant cliches.
Not in the mood for either of these. B

The Gauthier could be any Uncut-approved Americana from the last 25 years. Inert stuff that lacks the spookiness someone like Gillian Welch brings.
Akofa works from a more colourful palette

A sails too close to the tragi-comic winds. B is a beauty – full of subtlety and understatement. One of the best of the cup. Yes,

A is a strong track from the first MG album I owned. It's great.
B, however, is new to me and just what the doctor ordered tonight, thanks!

Geezuz, that was some bashing! Undeserved I should add. Not that B is any wrong, it has its charms, but I don't get so many bad comments about my pick, I thought it was going to be appealing to most preludiners. I was obviously wrong.
Think I'm gonna sit down and drink.

Think I'm gonna sit down and drink. I felt bad voting against your pick - it was a good one! But, well, I'm not that selfless that I'll vote against my self, and risk falling down to 8th or 9th in my bracket.

It's tempting to get out the Talking Hulk Hands and smash things but where's the fun in that without ZOOM or something?
