Jose Can You See ...


Jose Gonzalez. Ok this dude is cool. He hails from .... guess where ... Mexico ... Brazil ... Argentina. Wrong. All wrong. This guy is from Sweden. The land of meatballs and Abba. His parents are form Argentina, and thus that Latin sounding name, but this guy is a Swede. Although he started his musical career in a hardcore punk band influenced by Black Flag and The Dead Kennedys, Gonzalez has evolved into a style of music that is heavy on the classical guitar and his light and airy vocals. Most of his music is original, but he has performed several covers by artists from Massive Attack and Joy Division to Bruce Springsteen and Kylie Minogue. If you have ever enjoyed Nick Drake, you will love Jose Gonzalez, and he seems to have found a way to take up the flag of the singer/songwriter and march forward.




Check this guy out. He is REALLY good. I promise.

By the way, is anyone reading this blog?
