Baseball - Sam Baker with Gurf Morlix

[bumppus55]

There is nothing like seeing Sam sing his own stuff in person.. Who else could give it the honesty and depth of feeling in which it was written.... Wish I lived in Austin..I'd like to see him more.

I'm going to buy his cd wwhich is the 1st one i should buy

[skumm60]

Well...since there's only 2, why not start with the first one - Mercy. But since there's only 2 and if they're being mailed, buy'em both, they're both excellent . The second one is called Pretty World.

Sam Baker is a treasure. Buy his CDs, go see him play, and tell people about him. He deserves to be heard by many.

Damn right. The guy is an amazing songwriter, and an his delivery is just fantastic...for some it may take some getting used to, but thats part of the charm, I reckon. Sam is one of my heros.

@Stralok1 Not sure what he has done to be your hero because he really has a hard time doing his own stuff and making it come across with any substance. Just needs to stick to the writing and let others that can sing and/or deliver his lyrics better that he does. He is just really hard to listen to. Good writer, bad delivery, really bad delivery!!

[Stralok1]

@coleyman1 Gotta disagree, coleyman1 - The whole point as far as I can see is that they are his songs, with his delivery, and that's why they work so good. The vulnerability of his delivery is just one of the things that I appreciate. And he's a real good guy, too, which is never a bad thing.

[coleyman1]

@Stralok1 I'm sure he is a great guy, and I have no doubt that he has a following, but I have heard others do his songs and they even seem more comfortable than he does doing his material. I just find nothing that I like about him and his act except the lyrics to his songs. I guess that's what makes the world go around, however... Have a good one!!

Pretty World!!! Pretty Music! Meet you one day guys.

I'm writing this comment through tears in my eyes. The world needs more songs like Mr. Baker's. God bless you Sam.

I wish I was in Austin....
