I keep hearing a lot about Norah Jones, but I have never really taken the chance to “really” hear her. If she is anything like John West though, I would definitely give her a shot.

Ah, this is a nice change of pace. West’s voice is so nice-sounding, the kind that probably has fan girls squealing. I admit that I don’t listen to this type of music too much. The closest album that could possibly relate a little is some Norah Jones, but even that doesn’t hold the atmosphere that John West is capable of expressing in his music. I hope he’ll tour where I am sometime!

Funny, I’ve never thought of Indie music and “angry male rocker” together. But I can see your point as Indie got a name for itself with some bands that fit that profile.

West has a pretty voice, and his songs relax me every time I hear them. There isn’t one song that I like better than any other. I would recommend hearing all his tracks. It is well worth it.

Nice review. It points out all the relevant qualities of West’s music and style, and after reading it I headed over to his page on MySpace, which is both visually striking and full of info about his concert dates.

I absolutely loved his Umbrella w Cello. I haven’t heard such a wonderful song which employs acoustic guitar and voice so well in a long time. Clearly, this is a nice change of pace from the “angry male rocker” that most comes to mind when “indie” music is mentioned.
