I’ve really been enjoying Ben Sollee’s music. He plays a mean cello and has a nice cover of the Sam Cooke song “Change is Gonna Come. (myspace)”

“A Few Honest Words” is another great one, which is only found on his website.

While you’re at it check out Jamie Lidell . . . He’s a slender Englishman who sounds like a Southern soul singer from the ’60s. Great sound.
