Exclusive First Listen: Andrew Bird’s Noble Beast
NPR: Andrew Bird is an unlikely rock star. A classically trained violinist and former swing-jazz musician, he performs a quirky mix of Gypsy ballads, jazz, folk and art-rock, with frequently whistled melodies. It’s a sound that leaves critics swooning and fans giddy with the kind of devotion normally reserved for pop idols. At a recent performance in Chicago, a crush of more than 15,000 Bird fans filled Millennium Park to hear the gangly singer, complete with young women in the audience screaming, “I love you!”
Fat Possum Records and Andrew Bird have offered an exclusive preview of the entire Noble Beast release on NPR Music, which is out for release 20th of January.

Interesting sound Livvy! I’ll need to do further research on his recordings. Might have to post this on my site. Hope you are enjoying the freedom of the open road and the warmer weather in the South! Miss you!
