52 in 52: Week 8 - "Free Life"

Week of 11/30/14 - 12/6/14

Album from 2007

"Free Life" by Dan Wilson is one of my favorite albums of all time, and Dan Wilson is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. The guy just know what he's doing. He's like if a slightly-lesser Elton John had a baby with a better lyricist than Bernie Taupin (and somehow that baby acquired exactly all of it's parents music skills). He writes perfect melodies stuffed with beautiful, clever, heartbreaking, and hopeful lyrics.

 

Nobody carries this album. I've never seen it in any store. I ordered it online. It's weird how few people know Dan Wilson. His music can be sort of hard to find. But you should still find it.
