Joseph Arthur
One of the most underrated singer/songwriters around is Joseph Arthur. If for some reason you have not heard of him or his music, lets begin your education. JA has put up a free song for download on his site this week. The tune is one that he wrote right after the Katrina tragedy. Its free to download.

Joseph Arthur- Last Train to Ithaca

Here is what Joseph had to say regarding the song.

Here is a song written soon after Hurricane Katrina struck. There is a line in it “Everybody lost their home in a wind named Katrina.” Not only the people of New Orleans but all Americans were abandoned in the wake of this catastrophe. There is still much to be done.

I offer this song as a reminder of the people who still need our help. Please make a donation large or small at Mercy Corps or visit In the Sun Foundation.

Also, awhile back Micheal Stipe and Coldplay’s Chris Martin teamed up for record a cover of one of Joseph Arthurs songs, In the Sun. You can download that tune and the original over at Caffeine-Headache…..

As a bonus, here is my favorite JA tune….
