I like Matt Costa. He has a cool vibe. The first song, "yellow taxi", on his songs we sing album really hooked me in for some reason. And the last song on that cd "wash away" I think is just a great soothing track. Overall his songs aren't that hard, like Jack and Donovan, but he has an interesting voice and his lyrics are pretty good. I think you can watch him on sessions @aol so check that out if you want to hear some of his songs. Hope that kinda helps heathcliff

I like what I have heard so far and will check out the AOL sessions. I think he added a New York show and see if I can make it.

When is the new cd supposed to be out?

Thank you for the help everyone.

I take every gif I watch (which is A LOT) with a humongous grain of salt. But I don't let that grain of salt get into my eye and blind me to whatever truth can be found in what I'm watching. He is not any worse than any other poster here, and the people who claim he is just don't know what they're talking about. The demonization has gotten ridiculously out of hand.
