My new favorite musician: Paolo Nutini
Lindsey and I were channel surfing on Saturday night before stopping on PBS HD to listen to the charismatic Paolo Nutini live in concert. I came away very impressed with the 20-year old Scottish-Italian that sounds like a mix of Bob Marly and Bob Dylan. Man, can he sing.
His album, These Streets, features the most original lyrics I’ve listened to all year. Last Request, Rewind, Million Faces, These Streets, New Shoes, White Lies, and Autumn all come highly recommended. Definitely check out this easy listening if you haven’t already.

Sorry if this posts twice I have pressed the post comment button and my post has gone, but I’m not sure where !!!!!!
Second try !
So thrilled you and Lyndsey found Paolo. I agree that he has the most unique melodies and lyrics that I’ve heard for a long, long time. Autumn is my favourite song, if I had to choose. but truthfully I love everything the guy sings because of the timbre of his voice, his accent and his uniqueness. Not sure if you have checked out this duet of his with Zazie

Wonderful!!!! I have seen him at Glastonbury and The Isle of Wight Music Festival where he sang with The Rolling Stones. He is due to sing at the 200,000 Led Zeppelin Revival Concert soon as a tribute to Ahmet. How I would have loved to get a ticket for that !!! keep on rocki’n Paolo and thanks for posting this !!!!
Blake I think you and I like the same music! I am a huge fan of Paolo Nutini. I remember you saying you like Zero 7 and well you know you look like Justin Timberlake, so that covers all of my favorites! :-)! Hope all your girls are doing well and you all had a great Thanksgiving!
Marley and Dylan… that’s a good mix! I’ll have to check him out.
