A woman whose blog I read mentioned her new favorite song is Smoke Baby by Hawksley Workman. I’ve been in search of new music for quite some time. I’m pretty eclectic when it comes to music genres but I’m also oddly/particularly generic. I’m not really crazy about music (much to the chagrin of an exboyfriend). Despite owning two ipods, I still listen to the radio in the car – and when it is on I last maybe only 15 seconds on each station. In my itunes, I have an embarrassingly random collection of 90s music, pop, country, and even rap (thanks to teaching last year). But anyways, in an attempt to expand my musical horizons, I googled some of his stuff.
Am. In. Love.
According to wikipedia – Hawksley Workman is a “Canadian rock singer-songwriter who has garned critical acclaim for his quirky yet accessible blend of cabaret pop and glam rock.” Apparently I’m a few years behind (as always) to count him as a new artist, but he is new to me.
Check out his myspace to hear some of his music.
