Amos Lee - Supply and Demand

Lee’s been busy perfecting his pleasing soul-folk sound, sharing stages with the likes of Bob Dylan and Paul Simon. But rather than Dylan, Simon or even Norah Jones, who discovered him, the Philadelphia native resembles a bluesier James Taylor on his strong sophomore album. Whether singing about lost love on songs like “Careless” and the organ-drenched “Skipping Stone” or delving into jazz and country-tinged r&b on “Sweet Pea” and the catchy title track, Lee injects some Philly soul into that laidback JT sound.
