Jacob Luttrell, Artist who Deserves a Little Attention

I shot a concert for this guy a year or two back and have been a huge fan of his music ever since. I recently pulled out his album "Old Soul" again and popped it in. It was just as enjoyable and catchy as always. Seriously, this guy definitely deserves a bit of attention. He calls his sound Stevie Wonder, and I call his sound Robin Thicke. As a matter of fact I heard the new Robin Thicke song on Last FM the other day and could have sworn it was Luttrell. He has toured with Kelly Clarkson and others but now he is raising a family (cute family I might add) in the church here in Utah. Let me know if you want to hear his stuff and I'll be sure you do :)

Last.fm


I just thought I’d pass on this nifty website if you haven’t discovered it yet. www.last.fm I don’t listen to a lot of internet radio but recently I find myself going back to this site over and over to find new music. Here’s what I like about it:
  • I can listen to stations created by or for bands/musicians that I like and it plays a lot of other music from similar and sometimes unkown artists while mixing in the occasional well knowns. This is great for me because I’m trying to move away from corporate-driven radio and expand beyond the top 40. Plus, if I want something more intellectual I can just put on the beethoven station and I get nonstop classical classics.
  • I can create my own radio station (like Pandora Radio) by adding artists that I like and then it will simply cycle through them as if they were in my own library.
  • Finaly, it integrates perfectly with my current music player of choice: songbird. Two clicks and I’m listening to my virtual library – not bad.
