José González:

Like Many, i first became aware of Jose gonzalez through one of his songs, "Heartbeats" being used to advertise a new electronic product on TV. Jose Gonzalez is a class act.One of his greatest talents is his gift in combining a beautiful, tranquil voice with stimulating capturing instrumentation of his music, in both "Veneer" and "In our Nature" he reflects this perfect combination track after track,and bringing the acoustic genre to a new dimention...the other intresting thing in my opinion about him is, although i've always loved acoustic guitar, i would never have thought that two entire albums of basically just guitar & voice and friend musicians could keep me listening..the only other artist that has ever done that for me is the faultless Nick Drake..overall my opinion of Jose Gonzalez is a rare talent, a humble performer and a artist within a few year will become a musician's musician..if you don't already know this artist, then get to know him folks. Enjoy:)
