Music Monday: Pete Yorn



For my first “Music Monday” post I’m choosing one of my favorite (if not my favorite) singers, Pete Yorn. Pete’s 1st album, Music For The Morning After (MFTMA) is one of the albums I need to have if I’m ever stranded on a desert island.

MFTMA was Pete’s debut album. He first arrived on the scene when he scored the movie Me, Myself & Irene. 2 songs from MFTMA were featured in the movie. Pete now has 5 studio albums plus live recordings and songs that were featured on various soundtracks. I had the opportunity to see Pete at a bar in St. Pete, Florida a couple months ago. It was awesome seeing a guy who has 1.2 million fans on Twitter, in a bar that holds only 400 people. Pete put on a bad ass show and now my wife who knew very little of him is now a huge fan.

I recommend all of Pete’s stuff, however if you don’t know his music and want to invest $5 or $10 to download some tunes, I recommend:

Life On A Chain

Strange Condition

For Nancy

The Man

Murray

Crystal Village

Come Back Home

Long Way Down

All At Once

Shotgun

Cheers and Hail
