His solo album, Learning to Bend, was just released, and it is full of crisp vocals and and clear, rich acoustics that will captivate you. Not a lot of music will bring tears to my eyes, but his rendition of Sam Cooke's ?A Change is Gonna Come? and ?Panning for Gold? nearly did just that. I definitely had goosebumps all over.

Americana, Part 2  07/06/2008 06:23:26  ? written by vu () Harry Chapin - The Mayor of Candor Lied Harry Chapin Harry Chapin - Dreams Go By Harry Chapin Get ready for another collection of Americana/Folk music.

Ben Sollee I ran across this little gem and thought I'd share. Ben Sollee's distinct cello playing and soulful voice set him apart from most traditional folk or bluegrass musicians. His style involves plucking strings and percussive bow techniques to create a surprising and original sound. Sollee's latest album, Learning to Bend, features a number of guest artists, including Rayna Gellert and banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck. The title track.".Bend.".is a meditation on the importance of learning to change. Abigail Washburn tickets.
