Jaw On The Floor – Mayer Hawthorne & The County
Mayer Hawthorne & The County @ Stones Throw

Just stumbled across this care of Phill and it’s blown me away. New artist signed to Stones Throw, 29 year old white man who sounds like Gil Scott Heron on ‘When I Said Goodbye’ and isn’t ashamed to throw some ‘Get Out My Life, Woman’ drums onto the smooth ‘Just Ain’t Gonna Work It Out’ to give it a sumptuously gritty edge. Very pleased to meet you Mr. Hawthorne.
Edit:
Still having problems embedding video… check both tracks out at Phill’s spot.

So good isn’t it. Been bumping ‘Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out’ non-stop for the last 24 hours.

I just wanted to reiterate what JRems said above – check out Now On’s ‘Tomorrow Already’ album. One of my favourite CDs of the year. Thanks for bringing my attention to this Dan, I didn’t actually know any of Now On had solo careers.
