A songwriter who moves between English and Spanish, working with producers like Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno.
For a good sense of him, try 'Baby Lone Star' first. Then maybe 'The Boy Outside' or 'Old Shoes'.
His 2009 track 'Gold' got some international notice, but it's songs like 'Baby Lone Star' and 'I'm Gonna Die Tonight' that show his particular mood. He writes with a kind of worn-in clarity, whether in English or Spanish. The 2014 diagnosis that slowed his performing just seems to have deepened that quiet in the music.
His first album 'Ghostboy' arrived in 2004. After 'The Dangerous Return' in 2009, he kept putting out records like 'El Viaje' and 'This Marauder's Midnight', working mostly alone. The 2020 album 'Florecer' came after years of a slower pace.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
