Get relief at each streetlight
I have this theory that for every artist on the radio, there are hundreds of more deserving, more talented and soulful independent artists doing the same thing, only better.
For every Green Day or Blink-182, there are hundreds of Mr. T Experiences and Bouncing Souls.
I get this feeling in particular when I hear a John Mayer or David Gray or Jack Johnson. For these, I have found Rocky Votolato, who has a similar asthetic as them, but just a litte more… I dunno, soulful. Acoustic and mellow, these songs have been accompanying me on my 2+ hours of driving to and from work all week. These tracks are from 2005’s Makers.
