It is rare when I buy an album that I can listen to it over and over. Not only has it been the case with Amos Lee's newest record "Mission Bell," but that is all I have listened to for almost two weeks straight. Literally all I have listened to. The feeling of the album is one of melancholy and self-reflection. A few songs have a great positive feel, and I relate to this whole album. My favorite song from the album is definitely "Learned A Lot." I just relate to this song. It feels like it was written for me. This song came out at the perfect time for me, as it is EXACTLY how I feel about a certain someone now. I feel a lot more empowered after hearing this song.
Catching him live on January 28 also added to the incredible power of his songs/songwriting. I was so impressed by his live show, and I cannot wait until he plays anywhere near me again, because I will definitely see him again. His voice is great on his albums, but seeing him live only proves that it is even more effortless than I expected. He doesn't force out his songs. They just flow. His band is so tight and in perfect rhythm, it sounds as if you are listening to an album. I actually hope he comes out with a live cd/dvd. Do not wait to buy this album! It will literally change your life!
