Jonathan Richman

Add Date: November 30 

Artist: Jonathan Richman 

Album: O Moon, Queen of Night on Earth 

Label: Vapor

Genre: Folk, acoustic

Comments: Acoustic, folk-tinged tracks from Jonathan Richman, founder of The Modern Lovers. Deeply simple, his songwriting is incredibly honest and reflective, matching with the delicate guitar and his expansive voice. Featured artists include Olof Arnalds, Ted Saverese, Kelly Houston, and Nicole and Roger Montalbano, who add "warm glow to the album's very personal feel". Largely slow-paced, but definitely well-executed and true to its sound. Try tracks 3, 5 (an energetic track with some drums and vocals in French), and 11.
