black cab session: damien jurado

damien jurado and bandmate jenna conrad perform "last rights" in the back of a london cab for black cab sessions.

damien jurado releasing "caught in the trees" 9/9

damien jurado's new album is out on the 9th and i couldn't be more stoked. you can preview it on his myspace page here, if you still do that sort of thing. we can't all be anti-social networkers i guess. damien jurado is my favorite solo musician, but now accompanied for the past couple of years by an incredible band under the same moniker. the new sound is great, still keeping in tradition with his own modern folk acoustic/rock style, and continuing to develop his always amazing songwriting craft. i can't wait to see them on friday at the doug fir lounge in portland. make sure to download or pick up a copy of "caught in the trees" when it comes out this tuesday. you can also hear the first single, "gillian was a horse", at the top of my playlist to the left. enjoy.
