Cory Chisel and The Wandering Sons - "So Wrong For Me"

Taken from his striking September 29 album Death Won't Send A Letter, this gorgeous, devastating slice of disconsolation and regret sums up what we find so appealing about the music of Cory Chisel and The Wandering Sons in just 2 minutes and 38 seconds. Where others my stretch, pad and garnish needlessly, Chisel and producer Joe Chiccarelli keep things straightforward and concise, delivering a song that evokes haunting imagery and a sound that wouldn't seem out of place on Springsteen's Tunnel of Love. Add in some lovely harmonies from Adriel Harris and with "So Wrong For Me" you have just one more reason why we say that Death "just might be the finest album by a newcomer this year." More here and here.

Awesome post- I really can't stop listening to this record. Really looking forward to seeing him live. The album's only 6 bucks on iTunes right now... and you don't have to wait for the 29th!
