Has anyone checked out Paul Curreri? - I recently acquired a copy of his first album 'From Long Gones to Hawkmoth' and haven't stopped listening to it. Great stuff.

Due to the overwhelming response to my post, here's a little review (not by me);

"My favorite living musician," Rykodisc's Kelly Joe Phelps says of PAUL CURRERI -- a 29 year-old songwriter / guitarist from Charlottsville, VA -- "If I weren't me, I'd want to be him." The New Yorker magazine: "Exquisite... Curreri brings a renewed eloquence to the medium." And following his most recent European run, Americana-UK wrote that Paul is "furrowing a sonic field which few musicians would be admitted to at this time. Dextrerous guitar work and hushed insight, full of soul and (at last) originality."
