Amos Lee

Before today, I had only really knew only one song by Amos Lee called, "Arms of a Woman". Which I love! But now that I am listening to more of his stuff, including songs I have always listened to, but didn't realize it was him. I think I have fallen more in love with his music.

Amos Lee is categorized on I-Tunes as Folk Music, which I think is pretty befitting if he is alongside such artists as Jenny Gillespie - a local musician from Chicago whom I think is amazing and I hope she gets her time in the spotlight!

His music is very relaxed and mellow. It is perfect for a rainy day, sitting next to the window with a nice cup of coffee. With the mesmerizing sounds of Amos' voice and the patter of the rain just sounds so delightful.

One song that I think everyone would be familiar with is, "Sweet Pea". I think it has been in commercials and on films. It is just so darn familiar to the ear and I will admit to squealing when I heard it! If you are a fan of Fiona Apple, Ray LaMontagne and Aimee Mann, you will truly enjoy the sounds of his music and voice.

And keep in mind, his new album will be out on June 24, 2008! Support this guy, I sure as hell will be! Including seeing him in concert here in Orlando @ The Social on August 1st.
