He's a different breed of artist. The world needs more people with Xavier Rudd's outlook. Thoroughly enjoyed "Koonyum Sun" and hope he keeps the albums/tours coming.
there is something special bout this guy. i once met him at folky. he wa basicly shineing. it was a muddy festival ok. like no sun all wet and rainy. the only time i saw sun was when he came over this hill and the sun cracked threw for like a second.
@walkabout990 dude totally wright...but artists like this are making the world a better place and man lets be part of the revolution that makes the world a better place... cause if your not part of a revoltion your part of a problem=)
Xavier, as Natterstube said: " I'm so proud to be a human..... " i feel the same right now, you do chill a splinttered soul, keep doing your great stuff! love from Sjælland
LOL! I am so sorry! JP (LOVE2Flute) sent me this video & he said it reminded me of Simon & Garfunkel, & I was agreeing with him. I feel a little snobbish now, & I do not LIKE feeling snobbish - thanks for drawing my attention to this, brycecake, & no, you aren't a fool, but I was foolish!! Be well! But no, really, do you think Xavier sounds just a bit Simon and Garfunkelish???
Well. Now you know, bc. I'm not only a fool - I'm also an IDIOT! You'r scratching your head and saying, "I don't get it - shouldn't it be "S&G, not S&F???" The answer is, yes it should. I had emphasized the FUNKEL part in stead of the GAR part. I'm still not sure I'm spelling Garfunkel's name right but I'm entirely too lazy to check. So the cat's out of the bag - I am a fool, an idiot, and lazy to boot. But no, seriously, doesn't Xavier have a similar sound as Simon and Garfunkel??
Absolutely beautiful, enriching and truly honest with character and talent.
I'm so proud to be a human being with values even more so than I ever knew.
After being exsposed to a talent like Xavier who can deliver music like this for all to hear and share, I feel more comfortable to be me amongst nature and to just be who I've aways been... natural!
Thanku so kindly for sending your warm values through your song(s) that are cherished so fondly within me ; )
amazing artist. you can hear a bit of both Matthews and Simon in his songs but it is also incredibly original. What artist in the world can u honestly say you cant hear their influences in their music?
He might sound a little like Paul Simon here man, but he is no way a 100% rip off. Listen to his other songs and you will see that he is nothing like Paul Simon. And no doubt Paul Simon sounds like someone previous to him...that's the way it works.
you know when i saw him in ireland the posters were all comparing him to dave matthews, i have to say, i just don't get it. the only resemblance i see is they both have soft-spoken voices.
he is so much better live than dave matthews in my opinion, then again he is better than everyone in my opinion, and john butler would be second on my list :)
you dont really only find these guys in australia. but it is very very rare to find some1 with this much talent and as enlightend as xavire rudd anywere in the world. great song.... great man :)
une musique des plus harmonic couplé a une voix vous transportant dans ses contré américaines, tous sa machinalement orchéstré. BRAVO, c'est plus qu'un plaisir de l'écouté.
oh yes. if you love weissenborn though you really owe it to yourself to listen to 'steel on steel' by adam hole. He also does a great version of 'voodoo child'
Then check out Gentleman, german reggae artist(dont sing german), or bob marley, damian jr gong marley, alborosie, mykal somer with keep on sharing. try those 8)
he's without a doubt one of the greatest artists of the moment... I know that I once listened more than an our to the same song (Little cheif) he's really an outstanding musicien (I hope i spell this right :))
this man is awesome. if you are ready to go he will take you to your sweet place.
