Ruston Kelly "Big Brown Bus"

The style of music Ruston Kelly is making isn't necessarily the kind of thing I'd normally like, but I find the slightly mournful, brooding, soulful qualities of his voice hard to resist.

'Mockingbird' is good as well but it was a bit more obviously Americana than 'Big Brown Bus'. I think 'Big Brown Bus' shows Kelly potentially eyeing early Springsteen territory. He feels like a man of the people, keen to make a difference in a good way, seeing music as more than a job.

The album Dying Star comes out on 7th September and should be worth a listen on this evidence.
