@Cheshireagusta you're cofused

Some people just don't get it, oh well. I saw this guy open for Clutch about 5yrs ago, we were blown away with his set. Just him and a banjo. Glad to see he's still going.

if you want great music listen to james mcmurtey

Just like Johnny Cash, it's not always about the chords, it's the lyrics, this is a perfect example of modern story telling music. Not to mention, he is awesome live.

I can't even express how little I think of this individual's effort.
Only two year olds think that being "inflamed" is the way to self expression.

This is metal.

You are a knucklehead.

@rhittratt342 how the hell is he pretending?

@rhittratt342 Pretending? What's that supposed to mean?

you don't need complex chords if you can capture emotion and soul through words like this man



I disagree with Both of you. I think his lyrics are outstanding, and his voice captivates me no matter what song of his I listen to. Not impressed with his Chords? That's fine, you don't have to be, but he is one of the greatest songwriters I've ever heard.
Fossil. Don't get me wrong, I love Elliot Smith, but branch out a little, try other things, who knows, you might even like them.

i have been a big fan of everything this dude has done since i heard him for the girst time drunk at a party about a year ago. i think his lyrics and voice are what really makes him good. the simplicity and stripped down air about his music is also another thing to dig about him. to each his own. looking forward to seeing him live for the first time in novmeber!
