Justin Taylor


Well, following suit, I've decided to post this guy. He's a singer/songwriter/guitar player from South Africa who's story is very inspiring and stuff like that. No seriously, check it out: here. So anyways, this guy sings and plays from the heart. All of his stuff is one guitar and one vioce, and it's beautiful. He seems to actually speak to you, but his songs and lyrics don't get old. Of course, I'm a sap, so don't take it from me. His first album From Tiene Street was picked up by none other than Candyrat, who, if you remember, I've posted about in the past (see Andy Mckee). Justin has an amzing talent for writing songs that everyone can feel and understand. I suggest you check him out here and here.

Fakers - Jose Gonzalez




Alright, I realize that this is nothing new, but the blog hasn't been updated in quite a while, so I'm going to try to breathe some life into this thing. Jose Gonzalez does an amazing job covering Teardrop from English Trip-Hoppers Massive Attack , off of the 1998 release Mezzanine. Gonzalez brings his own element to the relaxing-yet-haunting song, taking it back closer to earth from the far-off ethereal classic Massive Attack created. So check it out.
