Finally...the Swedes get something right!
 

Anybody had a chance to check out Jose Gonzalez

Dont let the name fool you...he is actually a Swede. His music reminds me alot of Nick Drake (70's folk hero). Very simple, vocals/guitar folk music. Not sure if it something people here will enjoy, but I have been.

Worth checking out is a track called "Crosses"

Hoho. He's been around ages here - I don't like his music at all acctually.

Jase,
If you dig Nick Drake, check out this guy!

Actually reminds me of Drake. Be sure to check out the song "Jesus the Mexican Boy"

Cheers for the heads up Merlot!

Can you recommend a good album of his to check out???

Get "The Creek Drank the Cradle"

Great album. He does record in lo-fi, but it still sounds great.

I just recently picked up "Our endless numbered days"

Great album also. THe recording is a little better than his older albums due to his studio upgrades. He records himself. Both of these albums are top notch folk stylee!

Very good singer and gutiarist

Thanks Merlot....

The Iron and Wine stuff reminded me a bit of Devendra Banhart....

Will check out Amos Lee.

Cheers,

Jase

You.. You.. Backstabber.. Hoho.
