1)      Paolo Nutini- “Last Request (Live on Jools Holland)”-  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffJ8xcfqOX0 Comment by JH= Paolo is in his prime right now, and this sweet version of his original song recalls the soul of Wilson Pickett or even Barry White…

3)      Amos Lee- “Arms of a Woman” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5hPVqPMywc&feature=fvst Comment by JH-This song was my introduction to Amos Lee and I still think it is one of the most beautiful songs of all time.

4)      Laura Marling- “New Romantic (Live on Jools Holland)” -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLn3d0MChOQ&feature=related

      Comment By JH- Marling is fairly new to the music scene and when I gheard this song I was floored by her lyrics.

5)      Damien Rice- “Rootless Tree (Live at Abbey Road)” - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlnpedLeGbo Comment By JH- Damien is an all time favorite of mine.  I was lucky enough to see him in Los Angeles before he and Lisa Hannigan (The beautiful female singer in the video) broke up.
