Amos Lee
Biography
Singer/songwriter Amos Lee draws inspiration from such soul and folk artists of the '70s as Bill Withers, John Prine, Neil Young, and James Taylor. The Philadelphia native first became serious about performing while attending the University of South Carolina during the mid-'90s. After graduating, the English major taught elementary school before deciding to pursue a music career full-time. A period of waiting tables and bartending followed as Lee honed his songwriting skills. Eventually, he landed some high-profile opening-slot gigs including an extended tour with pianist/vocalist Norah Jones. He released his eponymous debut album on Blue Note in 2005. Supply And Demand followed in 2006. ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide

Proof that Philly still has it when it comes to exceptional artist. Being from Philly of course I am biased. Anything Amos sings will move you. Trust me, have him on heavy rotation on your iPod or whatever you use to listen to music. It is well worth it.

All I can really say is OH MY GOD!!!! Just the sound I've been looking for. Love the track Arms of a Woman

I love how he walks the extremely fine line between insightful melancholy and self-centere d misery. By far my favorite lyric is "I'm in love with a girl who's in love with the world, and I can't help but follow. Thought I know some day she's bound to fly away, and stay over the rainbow; Gotta learn how to let her go, over the rainbow."

His sound reminds me of cool fall days sitting in front of a fire under a blanket with a comfortable lover.

There are songs we hear and never listen to, and then there are songs that make us stop and wait for vocal understandin g . . . a n d once we lift it from the cradling notes we are certain we are not alone. J. WhiteCrow
