Hey guys.
I just stumbled onto this great indies guitarist/singer. Have you guys ever heard of him? He's part of the Freak American movement or w/e its called. I really like his Cripple Crow and Rejoining in Hands albums. Some of my personal favorite songs are, Chinese Children, A Sight To Behold, I Feel Like A Child and Little Yellow Spider. His music is kinda indie, classical, spanish twist that i really enjoy. Again i dont know if you guys heard of him but I think you should really just check him out. His lyrics, his style, his apparence just gets me. I mean its like one trip after another. Some of his are in spanish but you can just fell whats the songs about. Well, just give him a chance, i didnt like him at first but he grew on me. For you who have listened to him what do you think?
Thanks

The "This Is the Way" track on Rejoicing In the Hands has the most intimate count-in ever.

That is one of the most horrific pictures I have ever seen of a musician in my life.

'Cutie' is not the word I would've chose. I was thinking along the lines of 'a scary, hairy, Charlie Manson', but those two may be one in the same for you.

I've seen another picture of him where his hair is shorter and he just looks all around better.

I love his last three records, but the first two of those three moreso.

Cripple crow is good, but it's a little too long sometimes i cant listen to the whole thing in one sitting.

If by 'freak folk' you mean 'sounds like early T. Rex' then ok.
