burn it. he's an aussie singer songwriter in the ben harper vein.
john butler is 100x better, though. personally xavier rudd irritates me but he's reasonably well respected and liked on the scene down here.

My brother gave a me a mp3 cd of his discography. There's a clear link beetween him, ben harper and john butler. I dont really get into rudd's stuff though but he's clearly more listenable than Ben Harper the last few years.

NEW ALBUM FROM BELOVED AUSTRALIAN IMPORT ARRIVES IN AUGUST Dark Shades of Blue Best-selling Australian singer-songwriter Xavier Rudd is set to release his seventh album, Dark Shades of Blue, on August 19. Confirmed appearances at the Jazz Aspen Snowmass and Bumbershoot festivals in August and the Austin City Limits festival in September will bookend a headlining tour that will find Rudd bringing his live performance to cities across the U.S.
Dark Shades of Blue is dusky and cool, more sober than any of his earlier work. Guitar-driven jams expand on a sound only hinted at on previous releases, and distortion often supplants the pretty jangly guitars he's known for. Mixed by Joe Barresi (Tool, Queens of the Stone Age), Dark Shades of Blue shows Rudd at his most assertive, heavy and psychedelic, and while Xav's signature didgeridoo remains, along with myriad other instruments and voices, the results are less 'world music' and something more universally global.
The past few years have been a whirlwind for Xavier. In between sold out tours in Europe, Australia and the US, both headlining and supporting the likes of the Dave Matthews Band, Jack Johnson and Ben Harper, he has been working on the film score for fellow-surfer and Rudd-enthusiast Matthew McConaughey's Surfer Dude, a film starring McConaughey, Woody Harrelson and Willie Nelson.
Track List:
01. Black Water 02. Dark Shades Of Blue 03. Secrets 04. Guku 05. Edge Of The Moon 06. This World As We Know It 07. Shiver 08. Uncle 09. Up In Flames 10. Hope You'll Stay 11. Home http://www.jamjunkie.net/xavier-rudd-gets-blue/
