This guy is the best. This thread is more for his solo albums. Kind of a country/folk/Band influences. Golden Bird off his new album, Electric Dirt, is amazing. Brings to mind the song from O Brother, Where art thou lol. He still has such a unique, but strong, voice. Bit of twang to it. If you like The Band, you will love his solo albums.

saw him at Bonnaroo last year just before Pearl Jam. It was the perfect way to skip the jack johnson wankery that was before Pearl Jam on the what stage.
