Leon Bridges

Saw Leon Bridges on the Graham Norton show here in the UK last night and what a lovely young man (sheesh I sound OLD!) he has a lovely voice and has had a meteoric rise to fame (from washing dishes to playing at the White House in under a year!) and this track struck me as really really fine. I must say as I get older I have largely enjoyed Graham Norton's talk show but have developed a habit of turning over when the music slot starts. Young Mr Bridges literally made me sit up and take notice of this beautiful voice, cool band arrangements and a soulful song. Will go buy the album straight off . . . . . . . .
