C.W Stoneking - Perfect Afternoon In Paradise



I discovered C.W Stoneking on Later with Jools Holland about a month ago and since then I have been hooked. This sort of thing might usually pass you by but I urge you to have a listen. I can only describe his music as charming, witty, storytelling and beautiful. His voice is as gravley as anything and his songs really do make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up(there isn't many other bands that manage this).

His album Jungle Blues is a perfect bluesy, old American ditty. Just imagine someone from"of Mice and Men" pulling out a guitar and telling their tales, mixed with a whiskey and perfect afternoon in paradise and you will come close to sound.

If doesn't sound like your sort of thing, give it a listen anyways and see what you think;
