The Album Concept Hour: Side B
by Flyover State Park
In the year 2003, Sufjan Stevens began the 50 States Project: a series of folk songs immortalizing each state, but, like a god that has retreated from his creation in horror, he left many of the states confused and hurt, with no quirky millenial to sing about their own bullshit middle of nowhere towns. The Album Concept Hour: Side B is attempting to finish what Sufjan started with their own Fifty States PODJECT, scouring the music world for more albums that bear the names of states.

Fifty States PODJECT: (Massachusetts) Boston by Boston
The journey to find all the state specific albums continues with our highest profile album yet. It may not be a state album per se, but we'd be fools not to take advantage of the greatest band and album ever to bear the state capital's name, Boston. It's classic rock hits from start to finish...

Fifty States PODJECT: Delaware by Drop Nineteens
Though we could end our quest with Sufjan's true heir, Joey Clift, and his completion of the fifty states project, we shall push on with obscure state specific music! Today, we have an album that doesn't talk much about it's state in the Sufjan sense, but definitely feels like the state. We're of...

Fifty States PODJECT: Our Fifty States Project by Joey Clift (w/ Joey Clift!)
Today we're talking to the true heir to the Sufjan throne. It was said in 2003 that there would be an album for every state, and the neo-folk man himself, Sufjan said he would forge them. After nearly two decades, we had lost hope that they would ever be completed. Sure there were a few albums…

Fifty States PODJECT: North & South Dakota from Joey Clift's "Our Fifty States Project"
Sufjan left a lot of Americans high and dry when he stopped his Fifty States Project... There were some that independently made their own state albums, some that sought out pre-existing state albums, but there was one that sought to fully right Sufjan's transgression by doing what Sufjan…

FIfty States PODJECT: Iowa by Slipknot
The journey to find all the state specific albums continues with our highest profile album yet. It may not be a state album per se, but we'd be fools not to take advantage of the greatest band and album ever to bear the state capital's name, Boston. It's classic rock hits from start to finish...

Fifty States PODJECT: Colorado by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Neil Young, folk man at a ripe old age of 75, has decided to throw his hat in the running for the 50 states project. Coming out a little over a year ago, "Colorado" is state he's chosen to contribute to this list, and he enlisted the help of his old pals Crazy Horse. Taking only 11 days to record...

Fifty States PODJECT: Kentucky by Panopticon
Well, Sufjan really disappointed us on this one. We thought we had another 49 albums of states with him but... whatever. What we managed to find this week is... pretty close to the style that Sufjan Stevens plays, just with a bit of... black metal. Today, we're discussing Panopticon's Kentucky,...
