Listening to the debut album by Johnny Flynn, a 25-year-old folk/rock musician from London who also happens to be a trained Shakespearean theatre performer. The music has a lot in common with Dropkick Murpheys and The Pogues--some kind of mishmash of alt-country and what you might think of as traditional Irish instrumentation--but Flynn's stuff is lighter in sound, if not topic. It's just an all-around gem of an album. (After all, you can't go wrong with a back-up band called The Sussex Wit.)
Favorite Tracks: "The Box," "Brown Trout Blues," "Eyeless in Holloway," and "Sally."
