inspired by the fact that this amazing musician is playing for free with the skatalites this month! a truly timeless and inspirational blues/folk/roots artist. i absolutely love everything he has ever done that i have had the chance to hear so far. truly, truly beautiful music. if you are a fan of any singer-songwriters, definitely check this man out and you will not be disappointed. any fans?

I like this.

I'm digging it. Not something I'd listen to regularly but it's good.

Haha oh, I am, but it's just that this particular artist isn't really making as much of an impression as some of the others I listen to, just yet. maybe after a while he'll be one that I listen to regularly.

weird, he's made more of an impression on me (in a short amount of time) than probably any other blues musician i've ever heard.

eh to each their own I guess. he's not bad at all, so it'll probably grow on me more.

yeah, i don't have any full albums yet but i ordered a few and they should be here within the next few days. so hopefully you'll get a better feel of an album as a whole with him.

I saw him open for Dave Matthews Band a few years back, he was great.

That show was a longg time ago. My first concert actually. You just have to listen to the right stuff from DMB. I would reccomend the album Crash. I think it's quite phenomenal.

thanks, i'll check it out. today i found a ton of john mayer live videos and was absolutely blown away by them. absolutely nothing like the album songs i've heard from him.

senor blues and the real blues came in the mail today. i've listened to both about 3 times so far. absolutely amazing, senor blues is an album i see myself never getting sick of and definitely finding something new with each listen.

[cshadows2887]

So, uh, his self-titled. Holy fucking shit, right? How did it take me so long to hear this?

[cshadows2887]

Caught half of his set when he played in NH. Dude is a god.
