I fell in love with the smooth as silk tone of this massively bearded folk wonder and decided it was time to do a thread on him before I messed up my journal by loading it with one artist! :D Seriously, like City and Colour this guy is without flaw vocally and if silk had a sound it would be this guy. It's a steady breeze of an album but it'll hold you like a trance. There's also some accentuation by some female songbirds that realize blend beautifully with the foliage of Fitzsimmons world! Here's the album I purchased the very first week I found this artist!


The Sparrow and the Crow

Here's my favorite tracks:

I Don't Feel It Anymore (Song of the Sparrow) ft. Priscilla Ahn



If You Would Come Back Home


After Afterall


You Still Hurt Me

And as a bonus here's two brilliant covers:

Heartless (original by Kanye West)


I Kissed A Girl (original by Katy Perry)

This is some very understated music Sooty, I do like it but I probably feel it would be better listened to when I'm in a more relaxed mood :)

I really need to pick up the follow up to "The Sparrow In The Crow" since I liked that one so much! I've been checking this one out this morning! Great stuff and as soothing and as beautifully understated as ever but with the addition of beats (not sure if I like that as much)! A delicate gem nonetheless! :bow:

The Tide Pulls From The Moon
(The closest to traditional Fitzsimmons)


Let You Break
(Great uplifting track, 1st features Leigh Nash from Sixpence.... and the second features Julia from Angus and Julia Stone)


The Winter From Her Leaving
(modern and old folk merged)


Psychasthenia
(more beat heavy track)
