John Fullbright is my "next hot thing," musically speaking, from the year- and I honestly didn't stumble across him until this Fall/ Winter- after his Grammy nomination for Best Americana Album (in my defense, he was under many people's radar screen). "From the Ground Up" shows off his songwriting and musicianship. And while he plays guitar in this acoustic take on "Jericho", he's also an accomplished keyboardist. Oh, and one more thing. He's 24. I hope that means there's plenty of good music yet to come from him.
