In today’s Friday Download, we have music from Elliott Smith: The widely-celebrated folk-punk singer with a huge cult following. Beloved by fellow artists, his songs fill the soundtracks of critically-acclaimed films: Good Will Hunting, American Beauty and The Royal Tenenbaums. Smith cites Bob Dylan and The Beatles among his major influences, and it’s easy to see (hear) why. Dark and often melancholy, Smith’s music sounds the way lying with your face to the floor feels. In a good way.

Though we lost Smith a decade ago, you can rest easy knowing the Internet Archive has wonderfully preserved his live shows. We hand-picked three shows that we love – for free download below. To preview what’s in the download, you can listen to Elliott Smith cover The Beatle’s “Blackbird”. Incredible.
