March 16: Badly Drawn Boy - The Hour of Bewilderbeast
Home Country: Manchester, England
Badly Drawn Boy is now respected as a great singer/songwriter, but when I first heard this CD, his debut, I thought it sounded like what would happen if Paul Simon and Elliott Smith's love child got kidnapped and sent to Manchester to live in an orphanage. This thing is all over the map. Now of course, with Smith gone (RIP), Badly Drawn Boy is the leading soft-hearted folkie in modern rock. Plus, he always wears that stupid stocking hat. Gotta like that.
