Album Review: Jamie Cullum, “The Pursuit” (2009)

I love Jamie Cullum.  I love everything about him- his unique brand of jazz/pop infused music, the fact that he puts on the best live performance I’ve ever seen, the way he dances on top of his piano at shows and even the fact that…

Album Review: John Mayer, “Battle Studies” (2009)

Anyone who knows me knows that, musically, first and foremost, I am a John Mayer fan.  I have loved him from the moment his video for “No Such Thing” graced my TV screen in 2002; I have stayed devoted for the eight years since then-…

Album Review: Fleet Foxes, “Fleet Foxes” (2008)
