James Morrison: You Give Me Something

Some British Soul for you all.  I posted a different video of this song a few years ago, and thought I should repost another one.  I just can't help thinking that 20-30 years ago this guy would have been a huge star. 

Artist Of The Week: James Morrison

I stumbled onto this kid while watching Ballykissangel videos. Okay, I know very unblues like, but hey I like Ireland ok!!!!!!!!! So anyway, I saw this fan video, and I really like the music, so I followed up on it, and found this kid who is a soul singer in England named James Morrison. This is some good stuff, so enjoy the videos located at the left side of the blog.

James Morrison: You Give Me Something

No, not Jim Morrison, but James Morrison! This is a fan video made of clips of Ballykissangel. Ballykissangel is the story of a love affair between and English Catholic Priest and an Irish pub owner. It is a really good TV show, and if you haven't seen the first three seasons you are missing out. It was shot in Ireland just south of Dublin in the little village of Avoca. It was a fun show, but had this tinge of sadness due to the unrequited love affair of the priest and the pub owner. That said the song they chose was incredible. this kid has some pipes,and can really sing. In fact for a brit he ain't half bad:-) He almost sounds Irish:-)




Here is an video of him doing an unplugged version. all I can say is wow!
