Amos Lee - Mission Bell Cd

Amos Lee is a Philadelphia-based singer-songwriter who has released three critically and commercially successful albums on Blue Note Records. His music has been called Anthemic by The New York Times and seductive by Vanity Fair, while the Philadelphia Inquirer waxed rhapsodic about his compact, well-constructed songs, slightly southern drawl, and sensitive delivery that balances jazzy crooning and blue-eyed soul work within classic archetypes.

The Associated Press has praised his gloriously sexy voice and People magazine declared him one of pops best-kept secrets. Mission Bell is his fourth album for EMIs Blue Note Records, and his richest and most fully formed album to date. Mission Bell, which was produced by Joey Burns of the acclaimed band Calexico, displays both range and cohesion, an array of emotions unified by Lees eclectic taste and distinctive vocals.

With a remarkable set of guestsincluding Lucinda Williams, Willie Nelson, Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), Priscilla Ahn, Pieta Brown, and James Gadsonand the musical backing of Calexico, the album marks the arrival of Amos Lee as a mature artist who continues to explore his musical and thematic interests
