New Musical Discovery

In the my long line of musical "discoveries", including Alison Krauss, Dixie Chicks, and The Waiting, i offer the latest:  Taylor Sorensen.

In his own words, "my music is about love, the love that let the nails go through the hands of Jesus.  That love applies to a kiss or to serving in an AIDS-stricken country or to playing music. It's a love that makes these things holy, that makes them sacred, that makes them the gospel. It's a love that's revolutionary because the gospel is revolutionary."

Vocally, the Michigan native has been likened a bit to Bono (U2).  Musically, his songs have Brit pop/rock flavorings, with one critic calling it "reformed American rock with a European soul."
