Artist of the Week:  Allen Stone

Just remember I saw him first! Love, Love, Love....Allen Stone's voice.  His voice is super smooth and yes, quite dreamy!

Stone's voice has been compared to Stevie Wonder's, but I think Stone's is much smoother.

One thing Stone most definitely and unquestionably has in common with Wonder is his music is soulful, funky and jazzy.

Stone only 24 years old displays characteristics in his voice, songwriting and musicianship that should be well beyond his years, but he is an old soul at heart.

Stone's voice has great range, sincerity and grittiness.

His songwriting is above all confessional.  Stone does not shy away from writing about political issues as some songwriters nowadays do.  He lays it all on the table and shares a piece of his mind.

Check out this cool cat!  Trust me it's like a blast from the past with a modern day twist!

P.S. Love the Glasses!!!

~Peace, Happiness and Music~
