I just came across this guy Roy Jay who is a great mix of Jimmy Buffett (who doesn’t love a little Buffett from time to time?!) mixed with some lyrical talent to the likes of Dylan and Paul Simon but with his own Jack Johnson beach rock flair... great for summer! Anyone else heard of him?

Interesting.

I'm not usually much into country music, but that's fairly listenable

There is a new british singer on the scene. one of his more famous songs is on a mastercard commercial haha his name is Findlay Brown and his music has a 50's feel to it. his newest single is Love Will Find You and for some reason his music video reminds me of elvis or the four seasons. do you get that feeling too? http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbgq1c ... -you_music

Ah, it says "Content not available in your country" for me, that link.

I just checked his stuff out on Spotify and it sounds more like Paul-Simon-meets-traditional-English-folk-music-in-a-modern-context to me.

Good stuff, I like it!

Along a similar recent vibe, have you heard The Decemberists?

Or going back a bit further, the first album by The Levellers (from their more folky days before they were corrupted by the pop world), "The Weapon Called The Word"?

i like findlay brown...a little bit costello
