Tonight we are at a concert for James Blunt, who is actually supporting Katie Melua. He sought entry into the music industry, upon finishing four years in the Army. At 2003's South by Southwest conference, Blunt caught the attention of songwriter/producer Linda Perry (Christina Aguilera, Pink), who signed him to her Custard label. Back to Bedlam, Blunt's debut album, was produced in large part by Tom Rothrock (Beck, Elliott Smith). It was released in 2005, but not before lead single "You're Beautiful" spent five weeks at number one, on the U.K. singles chart.
He wows the crowd tonight with his simplicity of lyrics and his biggest fan who shows her support is his Mum. She must be very proud! graphics courtesy of Lone's Return to Glamour Puss Index |
