I don't spotlight a lot of low-key singer-songwriters on this blog, in part because so many other blogs make a specialty of that. Also, in part, because low-key singer-songwriters sometimes make me sleepy.
Even so, I'm putting up a couple of low-key songs by low-key Brooklynite Kevin Devine today. I'm not going to write much about the guy because, 1.) I don't know a hell of a lot about him, and, 2.) I'm sleepy.
I can tell you that he released his first major-label album (Put Your Ghost to Rest) on October 17, and that he may soon be coming to a town near you (see below... as well as his MySpace page).

Hey, thanks for these. He's opening for Straylight Run in a few weeks, and I'm looking forward to seeing him. There's some live stuff here; the rendition of "No Time Flat" is particularly good.
