The Fleet Foxes Helplessness Blues

The Fleet Foxes' Helplessness Blues is a definite must for your 2011 album collection. The songs are so well written. The music is beautiful, soothing and catchy. You'll sing a long to these songs around the camp fire, while washing your car, stuck in traffic, in the shower and so it goes.

I was lucky enough to see the FF or the Fleet Foxies, if you will, live at the Hollywood Palladium over the weekend, thanks again to Sub Pop Records. I was in VIP with Danny Devito, his wife and some friends, a lot of older men with skinny, tall super model types and some extremely hyper teenagers. I had a blast. Everyone was standing, shacking their booties and singing a long with Robyn and his crew of beard rocker, flannel and sweater wearing band mates.

The Fleet Foxes are RAD and Helplessness Blues is a significant reminder to each of us that there are talented musicians who can write their own lyrics and music in the world. Great work Fleet Foxes.

Thanks again to Sub Pop Records for signing great bands and sharing them with me.
