William Fitzsimmons – The Tide Pulls From the Moon

Biography
Fitzsimmons was raised in the outskirts of the steel city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the youngest child of two blind parents. Due to the family’s inability to communicate through normal visual means, Fitzsimmons’ childhood home was filled with a myriad of sounds to replace what eyes could not see. The house was suffused with pianos, guitars, trombones, talking birds, classical records, family sing-a-longs, bedtime stories, and the bellowing of a pipe organ, which his father built into the house with his own hands.
When his father’s orchestral records were not resonating through the walls, his mother would educate him on the folk stylings of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, and Simon & Garfunkel. By the completion of his youth and schooling, Fitzsimmons had become well-versed at a variety of instruments, at the minor expense of social standing, interactional skills, and a knowledge of proper shaving technique.
Fitzsimmons’ path into music was likewise unusual, forsaking the hobby for many years to work with the mentally ill and pursue an education in the field of mental health.

Dear lord what an absolute twat. I hope Jim Beam (or whatever that Iron & Wine guy's name is) meets this bro in a darkened alley and has his way with him. At least he had the decency to cultivate his own image and style of music. I bet the beard isn't even real.

волшебный голос, наверно это отрицать не могут, особенно звучит в чиллстеповских обработках, но и оригиналы не лишены своей прелести звучания, зачетный исполнитель, кто только познакомился с ним - приятного прослушивания, он достоин внимания
