I’m a song person; the type of music listener who mainly just cares about the individual songs. I rarely buy a full album, b/c I prefer to just download the few songs that sound good to me (There tends to only be a few on each album). I normally could care less about learning who the Artist is, or what they're image is about. All I'm interested in is the song itself. There's this desperate need in me to constantly find new songs to satisfy my craving. I happened to stumble across a couple Joe Purdy songs a few years ago that I loved...then a couple months later I stumbled across a few more of his songs that I had to download on the spot...and the cycle continued. Now here I am, 2 or 3 years later, and I've probably downloaded 60%-70% of every song he's put out there. Looking back, this is a situation where it would have been worth it to just buy the full albums, and I don't doubt that at some point soon I'll end up doing that anyway. Needless to say, Joe Purdy is one of my favorite artists out there right now because there seems to be a constant faucet of amazing and beautiful songs flowing out of him. I don't know anything about him, so I can't say I'm a huge fan. But, each song I've bought has been well worth the .99 cents, and I might even end up buying them twice just to have the physical cds :) The only artist I can think of to compare his music to is David Gray, and I say that because his music is full of soul and always touches deeper than just my ears. There are the types of songs that just sound good in your head, and then there are the types of songs that flow past your ear drums and into deeper places. If you’re looking for those types of songs, definitely check out Joe Purdy’s music.
