Song of the Day - March 15, 2005

I just discovered Damien Jurado and I don't know why it has taken so long. He has been described as urban folk and compared to Bruce Springsteen, especially his Nebraska period. Regardless of the descriptions and comparisons, I think you will enjoy Damien Jurado very much. Damien besides being a singer-songwriter is a Seattle kindergarten teacher. Now, that's a cool teacher. This recording is definitely lo-fi, but it adds to the charm. "Night Out for the Downer" has that melancholy sound, which I seem to be a big fan of these days, and is my choice for song of the day.
