Amos Lee is in need of more love. Been checking different posts here on MOG and I'm finding them wanting.I've been listening to his latest release "Last days at the lodge" for a while now and quite frankly, I have been impressed with what I've been hearing. So perhaps I have an uncultured ear? You tell me.His musical style encompasses folk, soul, and jazz and a smattering of blues.. Now, there...

I wasn't gonna write anything up about Amos Lee's new Blue Note records release. I've never got into the man in the cheesy popcorn-vending hat's music. But I did have the decency to skim the info about his new album, Last Days at the Lodge, out June 24th, 2008, and was surprised by what I read. Lee who has impressively toured/opened for Van Morrison and Bob Dylan is using some huge names as bac...

I am sure there are books that can instruct me on the comings & goings of listening to new music... but these days (especially after finding you my beloved MOG), I can't seem to give a new album its proper due. There are a few exceptions to this rule - but by in large, I have SO MUCH new music injecting into my eardrums that everything becomes a blur (NOT the band). That or I forget I have th...

From Acoustic Guitar magazine:The vibes and performances of Lee's original repertoire run a wide gamut—from the Memphis soul of "Won't Let Me Go," with a Willie Mitchel-style R&B arrangement supporting Lee's vocal ventures into high falsetto, through the swampy blues of "Truth" and the folkie, John Prine- and Mary Gauthier-like sentiments and phrasing of "Ease Back." "There's no genre that I do.

I am completely under this man’s spell. I don’t really understand it, because usually music this mellow would have my skin crawling and my brain itchy. I do most of music listening in my car and I’m usually very angry in my car. Who isn’t? You have to battle idiots just to get to job that you hate on time. But, when one of his songs come on I literally feel all of my muscles relaxing.

You know when you want to to cry but you don't and you get that pinch right under the bridge of your nose? That's what this song did to my twice on Tuesday.The first time it happened I was watching Sunday's episode of Brothers & Sisters which I had recorded. Near the end all the various characters are having "meaningful moments" and this song is playing in the background. It blended seamless...

Amos Lee is a contemporary, urban troubador whose style has a wide appeal.This cut from the Supply and Demand CD is a personal favorite. Just thought I'd post some newer music so y'all didn't think I lived alone with 5,000 old LPs and a cat named Henry.

I haven't been on MOG for awhile. How have y'all been? I've been busy working at a skate-shop as an art-designer. All I do is art-related, I also got a gig to work on graphics with* [not for] a skateboard manufacturer making skateboard & shirt graphics for skate companies around the U.S. So far I have made graphics for companies in Corpus-TX, San Diego, San Francisco, Florida & China. As a matt...

If anyone is looking for a new song or artist to check out, I highly reccomend this song by Amos Lee. I can't get it out of my head. I've been humming at at work and singing it when I'm alone. His music is very mellow, bluesy and simple, and his style of singing is incredibly melodic. I've got another favorite to add to the list. :)"Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight"Well I walked over the bridgeInto...
