My Take

Raul Midon is one of those artists who reminds me how much a single voice and one guitar can hold. Born in New Mexico in 1966 and schooled at the University of Miami, he folds jazz, soul and pop into something warm and unmistakably his own, complete with that uncanny mouth-trumpet phrasing. What I value is the lack of gimmickry; the craft simply speaks. He never seems to chase spectacle, trusting honest songwriting and a voice that carries real heat. For me he sits in a small group of musicians whose records actually loosen something inside, and I return to them often.
