Do you miss Jeff Buckley? Matt Corby is the next best thing

[daddy cool]

Stumbled across Matt Corby a while back... he was a finalist on "Australian Idol" in 2007, but thankfully dodged that bullet and is now putting out some of the most beautiful music ive heard for a long time.

This was one of the first tracks I heard - I was blown away by the live performance on this tv show - just a voice, a guitar, and such confidence and absorption in the song hes singing

His voice is hauntingly familiar to Jeff Buckley, who was once described as a choirboy singing in a wehouse.

Some other tracks if you like that:

That really is excellent, thanks!

Brilliant stuff, really happy for him that he's getting his talents in the spotlight.

Now he just needs to avoid dying young in a stupid way...

Whenever i get disillusioned with new music, Matt brings out something new and i feel optimisic again... heres his new record, just been released!

Thanks for the tip on this guy. Never heard of him, but a great talent and as has been said, clearly ingested the soul of Jeff Buckley (which is no bad thing).
