Forget the violin. Forget the classical background. As troubadour Andrew Bird puts it, “At this point the violin just happens to be the instrument I have on hand to make the sounds that I hear. I like to abuse it and pull as many sounds out of it as I can.” Bird is a masterful and intuitive singer / songwriter, and what he does while performing—alternately plucking and bowing his violin, then immediately sampling the results, layering the sounds with guitar, whistling, glockenspiel and vocals—bears little resemblance to what most people might expect. It’s only one of several devices in his arsenal of instruments, melodies, and imaginative wordplay.

It seems to be many of the same similar artists to his solo work. Stylistically Bird is similar to no-one but I guess you could say that they're similar in that they have a unique approach to creating their music with an emphasis on multi-instrumentalists and orchestration and what not.

None of the top similar artists but Squirrel Nut Zippers really belong up there.

"Thrills" is one of the best albums I heard in my music history. I would just added "Why?" to the list for a perfect end. jazz - blues - gypsy - swing - just perfect!"!

11:11 is one of the greatest songs i have ever heard in my entire life. Mr Bird should get Nora O'Connor onstage and randomly perform that song when they're at the Greek in LA this summer. just sayin'.
