Not sure if any of you are into this guy, but he's got a new album due out on the 17th. His previous work has been mostly stripped down, him with a guitar or banjo. He adds more of a full band sounds on this album. He's folk/blues with a lot of soul. The first couple of tracks on his myspace are from the new album, There's Hope For You and Old Devils. It's a highly anticipated release for me.
