Listmania!
I am a fan of the oldies, but here are some good newies....
We Were HereWe Were Here by Joshua Radin
Buy new: £14.49 / Used from: £4.95
Great songs to simply chill out to, and great lyrics if you feel like looking into them. Star Mile and Closer.
TroubleTrouble by Ray LaMontagne
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.48
This man is a genius with a voice that will make all music lovers melt. His lyrics are incredible. I really can't do him justice. Hannah and Shelter are particular favourites.
Julie BlueJulie Blue by Joe Purdy
Buy new: £14.49 / Used from: £4.38
Not very well known over here in England yet but these collection of songs are my favourite. Beautiful voice and beautiful lyrics.
Amos LeeAmos Lee by Amos Lee
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £4.72
Took me a while to get into Amos Lee after a friend recommended him. Personal favourite is Arms of A Woman
Live from MarsLive from Mars by Ben Harper
Buy new: £5.97 / Used from: £2.90
I am a HUGE Harper fan, and this is a great collection. If you haven't heard him before, this is a great introduction. Walk Away and Roses From My Friends are particularly amazing live
Brushfire FairytalesBrushfire Fairytales by Jack Johnson
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.45
I love Jack Johnson but it is my opinion he has got worse over time. This is his first and best album. Flake and Bubble Toes.
Come Away with MeCome Away with Me by Norah Jones
Buy new: £6.48 / Used from: £1.35
There was huge hype about this album a few years back, but its still great and still one of my favourites. Turn Me On and Come Away With Me.
HeartbreakerHeartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.69
Great album, if only for Come Pick Me Up. A song that everyone whos ever been messed up will love.
HappenstanceHappenstance by Rachael Yamagata
Buy new: £9.57 / Used from: £6.24
Not very well known but shes on the new Zach Braff soundtrack so if Garden State is anything to go by, she'll be huge pretty soon. Be Be Love and Reason Why stick with me.
Begin To HopeBegin To Hope by Regina Spektor
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £5.68
Great voice, somewhere between Bjork and Martha Wainwright. Fidelity is a personal favourite.
PosesPoses by Rufus Wainwright
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.19
Speaking of the Wainwrights....
O Brother, Where Art Thou?O Brother, Where Art Thou? by Various Artists
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £2.68
Great movie and great soundtrack. All the Soggy Bottom Boys songs just bring a smile!
The Cat Empire [Australian Import]The Cat Empire [Australian Import] by The Cat Empire
Buy new: £14.05 / Used from: £13.58
Not really inkeeping with the feel of this list, but these guys are incredible. Saw them at Shepherds Bush and the whole venue was dancing. You cannot be unhappy when listening to these songs!
Stealing BeautyStealing Beauty by Various
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £2.00
Ok, some of these are oldies, but its a fantastic soundtrack, and you need to watch the film if you haven't already.
TidalTidal by Fiona Apple
Buy new: £4.27 / Used from: £2.46
Great voice and wonderful lyrics. My favourites are Criminal and Slow Like Honey.
Where the Humans EatWhere the Humans Eat by Willy Mason
Buy new: £6.94 / Used from: £1.40
This album is incredible, I cannot understand how it is not more widely known. Oxygen is undoubtedly the best.
