Nathan Maxwell - Happiness in Time

Okay - this is far from timely, since the record in question came out in 2006, but I found this CD in my car a few months ago. I have no idea how it got there. If it's yours, feel free to reclaim it. But this is a fantastic album. It's soulful, uplifting, intimate, and reminiscent of old Rolling Stones all at once. The kind of CD you can just put the stereo and leave there and let it go 'round over and over again. Just check it out.

There's not a lot out there about this guy or his band. Neither his myspace page nor the band website say anything about live performances, but you can listen to the music there. He's from New York.

Apparently, I get into new music by finding random CDs when I clean out my car. But I'm glad I stumbled across this one.
