I stumbled across Leon Bridges thru a tv commercial and I thought he was a 60's artist I had never heard of, he has a really great voice.
He's great and coming to the states real soon.Quote:

He's already there:) - Leon Bridges lives in Texas. I like his voice and many of the songs, but I'm not too keen on the 'hard edge' to the backing instrumentation.Quote:

Maybe so, but everyone has the right to their own opinion. There seems to be this notionQuote:

Anyway, I was more impressed by Leon's guitar playing than his singing. I've been searching
all over but I haven't found too many male R&B vocalist that have floored more in a very long time. That contemporary R&B radio still doesn't play Ryan Shaw boggles my mind. I
suspect Leon will do well with the just wanna dress up and chill to some grooves crowds
but hammering a giant nail on the map of soul music history ala Al Green, just doesn't appear to be in the cards for him at this point...Wish he'd consider being a blues guitarist...
A friend to me about this, this guy is amazing!!!
