Phil King who has been quietly gigging around the country and getting rave reviews the past few years. I got word from my friends over at The Louisiana who are booking him as an opening act in the next few weeks and they sent a link to his MySpace page where this track, Leaves from 2006 and a bunch of others really grabbed my attention, including some material off his new album, which is currently on sale (hint-hint). Really nice production with a Hammond B3 in the forefront and a very soulful (in that Al Green sort of mode) restrained vocal given by Mr. King. The nice part about his voice is that it has a wide range as you'll notice with his other tracks on his site. Good stuff, worth a listen and good lyrics too. You can't beat it.

All in all, a nice background to some mellow reflection on a Tuesday night.
