Edward Sharpe performing "Man On Fire" on KCRW



I can't wait for this album to come out. There music is so full of joy, cheesy as that may sound. They look like a nice, close knit family of musicians. And their music may not be revolutionary, it may even be a regurgitation of the past, but there's still a uniqueness to it today. There's a good mix of sound in there, it plays genuine, and that's what I like. Maybe their voices aren't perfect pitch. It doesn't take a damn thing away from it for me. In fact, it only serves to make it that much more real. There's a Gram Parsons - Emmylou type thing going on between Alex Ebert and Jade Castrinos, even though Edward Sharpe sounds like a hippie Johnny Cash more than a Gram Parsons. I think it's refreshing to know music like this is still being made.
