Amos Lee

For my last blog of this year I wanted to write about something a little different.  I chose to throw a metaphorical curve ball at everyone (or like the two people who actually read this) and blog about a new artist that has really interested me over the past week or so.  Amos Lee is alternative/indie rock singer and song writer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania whose acoustic and mellow style is greatly influenced by jazz and folk singers and songwriters of the '70's like James Taylor for example.  His voice is like no other, having the ability to be extremely smooth at times yet very rough at others, incorporating an amazing falsetto into many songs as well.  Yet not only does he just create an amazing mix of acoustic alternative folk/pop/rock, he has also crossed over into the country scene, appearing on the Zac Brown Band's latest album, Uncaged. 

My favorite, hands down.

Definitely not the body I would've ever put with his voice.

He has such crazy control over his voice, it's really quite amazing.

This somehow works amazingly well.

He really is an outstanding vocalist, both because of the lyrics that he chooses to use and the control and power he has over his voice.  I honestly wouldn't hesitate to ever see him live if he comes anywhere near Austin because this guy really is that good.

Before closing out the blog for the final time I'd just like to say a few things about it.  First of all, I have seen that I have had over 1,200 views which honestly amazes me that that number of random people would care that much to read what I have to say.  Second, this has been a pretty cool experience, allowing me to find many new amazing bands that I never would have ever found without blogging.  

After all of this time it seems that we have found our own 2nd floor, and although there isn't any hardware, children's wear, or any lady's lingerie, it is time for us to go down.  I'd like to thank everyone for reading and maybe even enjoying what some random kid had to say, hopefully you won't miss it too much.  

Signing off for the last time,
