Details:
"My favorite act in LA? Probably Gary Jules." Nic Harcourt, Host of KCRW''s Morning Becomes Eclectic.
"I had only heard his cover of Tears for Fears'' ''Mad World'' from Donnie Darko. When I saw him live I found myself mesmerized by his songs. Such a soulful voice... like whispery life-soundtrack music for grown-up indie kids". (Meredith, San Francisco).
"New American music for the whole world . . . a fascinating, thoughtful, and eloquent commentary from the very belly of the beast. ''Little Greenie'' is an instant classic".
(Mark P, Portland OR).
"In the song "The Road Beside the Highway", a sort of bluegrass/Pink Floyd/Wilco hybrid, Jules'' trademark whisper-voice sings ''I saw the soul of Joe Strummer dance the Bo Diddley standing on the grave of James Earl Ray''." Wow. Stopped me in my tracks. Enough said.
(M Tseung, Vancouver BC).
