Babybird (a guy from the UK named Stephen Jones) is one of my favorite singers and songwriters. I first heard the song "Candy Girl" while half-asleep in a bar in Nashville (Biche was there) and I was immediately hooked--I think it's a magical pop song. I think the Ugly Beautiful album is a masterpiece of pop. The guy has Bono-style vocal chops, Morrissey wryness in the lyrics, and--on this album--simple, tasty production, with beautiful, simple guitar tones. Plus, you gotta love the line, "Are you Jesus without the nails?" I hope at least one of you digs it--This may be the first in a mini-series of Babybird samplings. Thursday, September 13, 2007
