Video Link here to this morning's Chris Evan's performance Cover of Sam Cooke in the case above, but his own material is typically more a mixture of Jazz Vocals and R&B influenced

Three great Gregory porter Albums

Paul Webb used "Liquid Spirit" for the first public demo of 5200SE. Extraordinary!
Compulsory listening.
If you like this, also listen to an old friend of his and a new friend of mine Krystle Warren
"Circles" April 2009
"Love Songs" April 2012
But as ever, live is better!

Here is an opportunity to listen to the late, great Terry Callier.
He moves effortlessly between Jazz, Blues and Folk genres.
As a taster the album "Collected" is currently available for �5 on Amazon.
No connection with this seller other than they regularly empty my account.
Highly Recommended Enjoy Hector

I'm currently enjoying Great Lakes by John Smith. He's classified as folk, seemingly, and it is indeed an all acoustic album, somewhat reminiscent of Bon Iver & Bonnie Prince Billie who I have previously recommended.
Lovely album.
