Sollee is part of the Sparrow Quartet but he's finally rockin' out a solo effort coming at you in June called Learning To Bend! I dig his soulful jazzyvocals over this bluegrassy folk stuff made unique with his cellos all over the tracks. He was one of NPR's Top 10 Greatest Unkown Artists of 2007! You need to get the album and hear what he has to say. He has excellent songwriting skills including topics of politics. He has an attitude to empower people, there's hope in it, and it's got great classical expression. On May 13th he's also got a politically motivated EP style two-song-er called If You’re Gonna Lead My Country and we got one of those tracks for you! Check it out!

A Change Is Gonna Come
Prettiest Tree On The Mountain
