Music I like - Eric Hutchinson

Now far be it from me to ever review albums, it isn't my place, but I can certainly share what I like! Behold...... Eric Hutchison.

I'm always on the look out for new music and sites like Last Fm facilitate this but I get a bit sick of them pushing the same artists and they also seem to think that popularity of an artist is a deciding factor in whether an artist is similar. I found this guy on Spotify and they reckon he is like Jack Johsnon but I don't really hear it. I would even venture that those that like the stripped back sound of Jack might not like the rather busier sound of Eric Hutchinson. I would say he is more comparable to Brett Dennen......

Anyway, I always know it's a good album if I like it on the first listen and this I like. It spoke to me...... it touched me deep....... errr anyway. It's really nicely produced with some busy melodic parts. The whole album is up beat which is nice and there is an ecclectic blend of influences including acoustic, reggae and soul. It's happy music!

The album is called "Sounds Like This." I think the album artwork is cracking too. So many singer-songwriters plaster their face all over the front cover or some cheesy photo of them by the sea. Give it a listen and by all means if you know of any "similar" artists please let me know.
