• My Best New Artist
  It's been a long time since I've really let a new artist into my orbit, and I know Amos Lee is not exactly new, but I think he's amazing.

The lyrics are intelligent, his voice is warm and inviting, even reminding me of Al Green on songs like "I Wanna Know". I highly recommend this album, and all of Amos Lee's work.
