Strange Famous

Anyone ever heard this guys stuff? He's incredible!

I dont know all his background but from what I do he has basically being bumming around and semi-homeless most his life, but he is an awesome blues singer/guartist who broke out a couple of years ago when Jools Holland gave him some time on a show he did.

And he's been wearing Levi's before they every thought about you!

Hi Strange.

I came across him a while ago when Radio 4 did a piece about him. Right now, all of his CDs are in the 2 for £10 sale at HMV.

I can heartily recommend them.

Yeah, Im definitely gonna check some of his albums. I mostly just download music or play it on youtube - but I'm happy to actually pay for something like this.

I'm in the oblivious category as well, though I will check him out when I get the chance.

I'll report back in a week once I've sought and bought his highly-recommended albums on wholesale.

It's not just the music - he tells humorous stories too. His live sets are great.

His sound definitely seems like the sort that is best heard live in a small venue, and somewhere not too classy neither....
