Anything new?

Discovered any great new bands, singers or didgeridoo players recently? Care to share them with us?
I'll start. I was given an album by someone called Foy Vance called Hope yesterday and was instantly blown way by it. I know little about him other than that he is from Northern Ireland and it is a rerelease having been first issued last year - presumably to little or no interest. Fantastic gospel blues balladry with a bit of Ray Lamontagne, a lot of Van Morrison (when he was good) and a hint of Joe Cocker in there as well. Sounds like it was recorded in a garden shed though.

Afraid so.
Did I mention I like Prog. Thought not, otherwise I would have been drummed out of here by now. So, risking my credibility (Yeah right...Ed) a one-man band from Japan. If you like the tracks, follow the links to his website and you can download the MP3s for free.

A mate came back from the States recently bearing a copy of a very Americana sounding album this guy did back in the late 90s called Normal For Bridgwater. After a bit of investigation it turns out he's English. I reckon he could be a great folky/psychedelic type discovery. This is something new of his I've just turned up.
Misty's Big Adventure
Not heard much mention of Misty's Big Adventure on here, they are fantastic!
