Gregory Alan Isakov

Hopefully many of you have already heard of Gregory Alan Isakov; he is a folk singer/songwriter and guitarist from Boulder.  Here is a song that's fairly representative of his musical style.  It's pretty retro-sounding folk music, but the combination of instruments and the chord progressions are still really good.  I had the privilege of seeing him play in Fort Collins in September (with the Head and the Heart); it was an incredible show, and I was really impressed with his delivery.  His backing musicians were excellent, too, especially the violinist.  He currently has two albums out, released in 2007 and 2009.  I much prefer the more recent one, and I like his more recent unreleased songs (like this one) a lot too.
