I have just discovered a musician I love. his name is Sufjan Stevens... here's a link to the ituens music store: http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewArtist?id=4273404
Apparently he has set out to write songs about each of our 50 states. He does a lot of research and then makes these beautiful songs about like statesmen past... His melodies just take me away, and hearing the lyrics is like a history/political science lesson.
You can also find out more about him from NPR: http://www.npr.org/programs/asc/archives/asc88/index.html#stevens
enjoy!!!!
