Reminiscent of Damien Rice

"I saw Josh Radin live last night in Chicago because a friend had an extra ticket. I had no idea who he was, but figured whatever I'm not doing anything else. Thank God I went. Radin's show was amazing and the songs he does with Schuyler Fisk are reminiscent of Damien Rice. In fact, if you check out Damien Rice's web site he actually lists Radin as one of the artists you should endeavor to see live if at all possible. I bought the CD and have been listening to it all day. It's one of those that you can put on from start to finish and every single song on it is good. $10 is an absolute steal for how good this album is. If you like mellow male vocals and well-written lyrics, Josh Radin is for you."

Why isn't this guy famous?

"I heard "Winter" from this album and was hooked: though I'm not really a fan of Zach Braff's acting/movies, the man has incredible taste in music (as the Garden State soundtrack proves). Part of me is glad Joshua Radin isn't yet commercialized, but notice I write, "yet." Seeing the huge similarities between Radin and, say, the Shins, John Mayer or Iron and Wine I'm just waiting for the day for when Radin is played outside of JC Penny commercials.



Anyone who likes some soft accoustic and wistful vocals should at least listen to the sample songs on Amazon. "Sundrenched World" is another beautiful song with haunting cello lines and gorgeous chords. Even some of his lighter songs like "Photographs" are far from fluff-- any artist who can also write lyrics about Simone DeBeauvoir or Sylvia Plath is just awesome."

Awesome

"You have to like a mellow rock to like this CD. I was able to put it in the player and never felt like I had to skip a song. (come on you all have done it) This CD there was no "hated song". A great buy!"
