Do you like Singer/Songwriters/Alt-Country/Americana or Indie-Folk, or do you have a unhealthy affection to the sadness, if so you may have a case of the Tuesday Blues!
Gregory Alan Isakov - Light Year (2009)
If you are about to lose your mind, maybe that game of FIFA hasn't gone to plan and that vein on your head feels like its gonna blow like Krakatoa, this may be the perfect antidote. It features on his 2009 album, This Empty Northern Hemisphere and brought me back down the other the night. It was just what I needed, and stopped me going all Michael Douglas (Falling Down).
Where have I been? I've only just 'discovered' Gregory Alan Isakov and feel that I should lined up and beaten with a stick and slapped with a fish. (A little harsh). Born in South Africa, he emigrated to the United States as a child and and now resides in Colorado.
Living Proof features on his 5th album, The Weatherman, which was released in July and was recorded mostly in solitude outside the mountain town of Nederland, Colorado.
Dare I say it has leapfrogged itself in my top 10 albums of the year, well, I just did!
