Several weeks ago I made the mistake of taking the password off of my mac at the house. Since that time I have had to withstand the jibing of several friends who noted my recent musical tastes trending toward Fergie, Rihanna, and The Pussycat Dolls. last.fm is getting me in trouble again. No amount of explanation could convince that it was my teenager that was listening to music on my computer at the house (note iscrobbler), and thus I have just decided to admit that I am a closet Britney fan. There I said it, are you happy!

Now that we have that out of the way, I figure it is time to let my vast readership know my thoughts on the most recent Amos Lee album - WOW! Very good stuff. In keeping with his earlier sounds, Amos has only developed as a writer. The sound are more mature and complex and he brings great diversity to the album. He shows off tremendous range on Won’t Let Me Go. The sounds of Jails and Bombs are just rich. But possibly my favorite track is The Street Corner Preacher. The blues melody, rich acoustic tones, and strong lyrics make this a highlight of the album. Way to go Amos, the new album was a great purchase.
