Damien Jurado is from Seattle and this song "Cloudy Shoes" is from his latest album 'Saint Bartlett' released a couple of months ago. He is hard to pigeon hole as an artist.... maybe, a bit like 'The Flaming Lips' but without the mind altering drugs and Neil Young without the country. But everyone could have a different opinion of who they hear in his songs. "Cloudy Shoes" has a slight soulful sound with the call and response (repeat) vocals over a beautiful backing track that stays true throughout. This is from his ninth album and I am amazed it took me this long to invest some time in his music.... so let's say, for me, this is just the start of something good.
