I discovered Damien Jurado here a few years ago in a thread talking about "chilling" songs. The opening cut on "Where Shall You Take Me" is one of those eerily hair raising songs that gets me every time. The cd is nowhere as upbeat as Maraqopa. If you don't have, order it next.
Damien Jurado/Maraqopa
I had never heard of this gem of a singer song writer until just a few weeks ago.
Damien Jurado's new album Maraqopa is FANTASTIC! This is my favorite album of 2012.
Check him out on Spotify if you like. He has a few very nice albums.
Damien sounds fantastic with just him singing with acoustic guitar. Many of you may perfer his music this way.
see his album "Live at Landlocked" This live album is very well recorded too. He is out touring behind Maraqopa.
Here is a 3 song sample from Maraqopa.
