Xavier Rudd - Give Him An Easy Listen

I recently bought a song by artist Xavier Rudd, and it actually turned into the purchase of another song as well. Xavier Rudd is a Canadian-Australian artist whose music can best be described as island/surf/soul. The surrounding musicianship tied with the meditative theme react together to form a very uplifting song full of energy. Many people have heard of Xavier Rudd and his albums, Food in the Belly, and White Moth. The first song that I downloaded, and I believe any fan of island/surf/soul music should download, was "The Mother". It costs $1.29, and the driving bass line and lyrics make that price worth it.  

The second song that I downloaded was off of the album Food in the Belly, named "Come Let Go". Probably one of his most recognizable skin, it is a great relaxation song/summer song. Why not download it and have it ready for that next beach day. (please let it be soon!). Again a strong bass and drum line keep the song moving at a moderate pace, and the chanting echo presentation of the lyrics really gives it a calm smooth feel. This song was also 1.29, and I would have to say that if you are a fan of popping on a song and relaxing with friends and family, then this is song is paradise found. Give Xavier Rudd a quick look, you never know he may surprise you as well.
