Jamie T - Emily's Heart

I heard this today for the first time, it is an unexpected treat. Acoustic with a great melody, good lyrics and an interesting vocal from someone best known for a more agressive delivery.

I love Jamie T
The latest album is like some mix up of Strummer and Jones post Clash (ie BAD and Strummer's Mescaleros stuff) with some Weller (it quotes Thick As Thieves on one track). There's quite a lot of acoustic based stuff. Search out the singles from the latest album, the b-sides are mostly acoustic and superb.
The folkies around these parts would actually find a lot to like in Jamie T's quieter side.
I love his stuff
and I think he'll be around for a long time to come. His range of influences is incredible - it's hard to imagine anyone else lifting samples from an Angelic Upstarts live album, (The Man's Machine).
