I'm a little bit old school. I don't download music, as I much prefer to hold a CD. Plus, you miss out on the personality of an album - its cover art and booklet - when you download.
Anyway, the newest CD that's been added to my collection is a little treasure called A Trophy by Melbourne singer/songwriter Tobias Cummings.
Something of a master storyteller, Cummings also has the vocal chops to make A Trophy one of the most sweetly crafted albums I've come across in a long time.
Graceful. Haunting. Intimate. It's under my skin.
Tobias Cummings plays at The Birmingham tonight, and The Workers Club tomorrow night.

i love cds too. plus i don't totally trust that technology will protect & preserve my music :) i guess i'm old school too
ReplyDeleteSounds great! I'm old school too, but with records instead! I love the scratchy jazz or blues albums, but they are a BITCH to move. I still, however, cannot imagine trading my boxes and boxes of records and books for a kindle and an ipod.
ReplyDeleteOooh i've never heard of him, but love new music and will have to chk him out:-)
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how to download music. Never heard of this singer before. But I shall do some research;-)
ReplyDeleteOO He is moody, I like it a lot!
ReplyDeleteI love good music recommendations! He's wonderfully moody, indeed. I'm also old-timey with my CDs - glad I'm not the only one :) Thank you so much for dropping by, I love meeting new bloggers and so happy it led me to your sweet blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you for turning me onto some great music--haunting is a very good description. Will love to hear more....
