A friend of mine asked me if I liked Shakey Graves and the answer was absolutely f@cking yes.

In the spirit of Chris Smither, another true entertaining solo songman, Shakey Graves does the Americana rock thing with great spirit and energy.

Click the video clip below to hear/see his “Word of Mouth”… at around 3:33 into the song the video pans down to the rigged bass drum/suitcase contraption.

One of the websites that preview him compare his sound to Violent Femmes, but I don’t agree.

I’d say, he’s pretty unique. Hopefully he can keep growing that songbook of his. He is off to an impressive start.
