You are beautiful ...

Back to Bedlam - James Blunt

and what is this doing on my blog ...well for starters, I liked it ....and where does the Rahman connection come in ??? well ...this is something that Rahman liked too (read that somewhere) n is hearin these days :-).

So I heard the whole album and I must say, I am hooked on ...hooked on to the extent that I now own both the acoustic Live version as well as the normal album version of this album ...
Brit Rock I feel, has always been in between Rock and Pop and this one is no different. Coldplayish in style, this guy sometimes sounds a wee bit like David Gray too .....but then its different. Good use of the guitar and the piano but the voice modulation is the one that does the most to pull you into each song ....

Easily, 'You are Beautiful' and 'Wiseman' win the battle amongst the 10 songs on the CD (12 on the acoustic version which also includes a cover of the Pixies - Wheres my Mind).

Its been some time since I have heard one whole album by one artist (of course I am not including Rahman into the list:-))

Go get it ...

Dave Gilmour is out with a new one too ...I started my journey in rock thru Floydd and so nething from them is a must-hear if not a must buy for me .. - Its called 'On an Island' - not bad though not great too ...
