If you haven't caught on yet I don't really appreciate all the hype that the media gives to some talentless artists while the real saviors of music get neglected because they're not in and out of drug rehab, or neglected to show tooooo much skin at the latest awards show.
Well, I will give the pure rockers credit non the less.
Damien Jurado is one of the best songwriters of our time. Listen to His newest album (Caught in Trees) and you'll see exactly what I mean.
It's a a little bit of this and a little bit of that. It's a hard sound to describe or compare. The vocals are classic rock, and the music is lighthearted but motivated.
I haven't given the album an entire listen, however I have a pretty reliable source that says the content is pretty good. Give it a preview on itunes, or check it out at your local FYE.
Let me know what you think of it.
