New Music (Continued)

Irishman Damien Rice's O has been in rotation at our house for the past month and its taken a while, but its been worth the wait. His beautiful Cannonball in particular is worth an immediate download if you like acoustic folk music.

I like the Rice ablum almost despite myself---it is soft, simple, lush, romantic....all the thinks that normally signify corny, bad music. But it's really strong, engaging stuff.

I don't know if you've ever gotten into Nick Drake, but to me he's the big bang precurssor for all this kind of music...He died young an never really got a chance to develop, but already he was a brilliant fingerstyle guitarist and a really talented, emerging songwriter. His final
album Pink Moon is a stone classic.
