During his last school break, my Eric hooked me on the AMC Series The Walking Dead. (A wonderful, uplifting and nurturing series on humanity. Sarcasm dripping.) This song, “Lead Me Home” by Jamie N. Commons, premiered on the show. Commons, 23, is a singer-songwriter who was born in Bristol, England. He relocated with his family to Chicago at the age of six where he was immersed in Chicago Blues. He returned back to the UK at 16. Raspy like Tom Waits – gothic like Nick Cave…amazing young talent. His new album, Rumble & Sway, was released last month.
Love that husky, bluesy voice.
I’m with you Anneli. Incredible voice.
Fabulous voice! And may I say that I watched Jon Bernthal grow up? Yes, I really did.
Mimi, you define “coolness.”
Laughing – if this is a definition of ‘coolness’ in your world, then I’m moving to your planet.
I love it when our kids turn us on to the “cool” stuff…mine do it all the time. They keep us young, David. My oldest son actually just mentioned to me recently the series The Walking Dead…and I’ll remember your “dripping sarcasm” if I ever watch it. I’m actually not a big zombie fan, except for the movie Warm Bodies, which I loved. Thanks for sharing this song! 🙂
Carol, we all thought you were cool to begin with.
Obviously…you have not spoken to my children. 🙂
*Very* nice!! I am completely captivated by that husky sound. If you like this guy, then you must check out Everlast–‘Saving Grace’ is awesome. And Marc Broussard–his song “Let Me Leave” is a beauty.
I checked them all out Lori. Loved them…thanks for pointing me to these artists.
Hauntingly beautiful….great sound
He is…
Marcie and I love the show, and can’t get enough of it. A little on the gristly side, but very well written with excellent character development.
Hi Tom. A “little”???
Wow. The voice is so much older than that boy.
It certainly is…
Oh my, I so agree re this stunning voice,and to think I’ve been ignoring all the references to The Walking Dead instead of being curious enough to check them out.. Am going to look up those recommendations also.. Thanks David and all:)
Makere, be forewarned, you’d be best to stay away. Far away. 🙂
So I’ve been told David.. Perhaps I’ll let my curiosity go unabated this time. Thanks for the headsup!
