Singer song writers (that are good)

A Listmania! list by "smuel20"
 
I'M Wide Awake It'S Morning
1.  I'M Wide Awake It'S Morning by Bright Eyes
The list author says:
  "Like a less frazzled Devendra Banhart with more of an alt. country edge.  'First Day of My Life' is one the most hopefully desperate love songs ever."
Used & New from: £6.00
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (43 customer reviews)

Rejoicing In The Hands (Of The Golden Empress)
2.  Rejoicing In The Hands (Of The Golden Empress) by Devendra Banhart
The list author says:
  "Like an acid frazzled Bright Eyes with more of a psych-folk edge.  He is a deeply crazy man."
£8.53   Used & New from: £3.77
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (10 customer reviews)

SEVEN SWANS
3.  SEVEN SWANS by Sufjan Stevens
The list author says:
  "Very deep and powerful at times, yet always with an acoustic, rustic charm."
£10.07   Used & New from: £5.39
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Two Way Monologue
4.  Two Way Monologue by Sondre Lerche
The list author says:
  "Perhaps not in the same league as the previous three singer/song writers but bloody good all the same.  Sounds a bit like a more alternative Rufus Wainwright."
Used & New from: £2.58
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Want One
5.  Want One by Rufus Wainwright
The list author says:
  "Good ol' big gay Rufus.  This is him in all his pomp and glory.  'Oh What a World' is amazing with its use of Balero."
£5.77   Used & New from: £2.18
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (55 customer reviews)

From A Basement On The Hill
6.  From A Basement On The Hill by Elliott Smith
The list author says:
  "A posthumous release from this deeply trouble man.  This album has some of his most soft and intermate moments as well as his most loud and angry."
£6.29   Used & New from: £2.11
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Can You Still Feel?
7.  Can You Still Feel? by Jason Falkner
The list author says:
  "Ahhh power pop.  Falkner is a master of the genre, well before Brendan Benson made it fashionable again.  Fuzzy song writing at its best."
Used & New from: £5.45
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Lapalco
8.  Lapalco by Brendan Benson
The list author says:
  "The opening 20 seconds of 'Folk Singer' are what power pop is all about: two wonderfully distorted power chords being sung over with slick, sweet vocals."
Used & New from: £0.99
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (16 customer reviews)

Rehearsals for Departure
9.  Rehearsals for Departure by Damien Jurado
The list author says:
  "Jurado sounds like a man twice his age, and his Americana style ramblings are as catchy as they are scary."
Used & New from: £6.88
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus
10.  Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave
The list author says:
  "A double album with fantastic quality control.  'There she goes...' is a belter of a soul/blues/rock song and the rest isn't far behind."
£8.04   Used & New from: £4.14
4.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (32 customer reviews)

Girlfriend
11.  Girlfriend by Matthew Sweet
The list author says:
  "Sweet was a power popper when Jason Flakner was still in Jellyfish.  Not always as catchy as Falkner or indeed Brendan Benson but he still takes some beating."
Used & New from: £2.37
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)
