this is a new artist from england. he is acoustic and v.heart melting with his singin' n all! check him out if you are into slower more melodic acoustic stuff..

I got it for Christmas... an amazing album. The Blower's Daughter... raw emotion. Yeah, check him out guys!

I heard a lot about him... I guess he's quite good, but it's not the kind of music I want to listen to a lot, right now...

yeah a v.good album. saw quite alot of live sessions on VH1 of him. volcano, blowers daughter, and cheers darlin' are my highlights. and the hidden version of silent night on track 10 is emotional to say the least!

he's actually from ireland, i think.

i don't know, his lyrics don't do TOO much for me anymore, and sometimes he seems a little too heartfelt, like it's contrived, but i dig acoustic guitars and his girlfriend has a lovely voice.

i would buy the album if i saw it in the bargain bin at the local record store (or, if my town had a local record store), but i don't think i would pay full price. i know it's not right but i can't help but comparing him to the likes of nick drake and/or elliott smith, and though damien rice is sweet and listenable, he's just not remarkable in my point of view.

having said that, volcano would probably be my favourite track.

Girl , you are quite correct , he is Irish

Yup he's irish, I can't wait to get his album. I think he's fantastic and so sweet. I love the sound of him and that other lady singing together.

yeah, him and his girlfriend lisa hannigan (i remembered her name, look at me) do some nice harmonies. does anyone know if she does any solo stuff? i would definitely check her out (ahhha) if she did.

Is that his girlfriend singing on "volcano"? I had no idea. She does have an amazing voice.

she is the female vocalist on all his songs, to my understanding.
