If you don’t know who Damien Rice is, well then you should. He’s been one of my favorite singer/songwriters for years. I haven’t heard much out of him since his album 9 was released in February 2007. However, recently his website has been a bit more active and he’s appeared with a string of live performances. The other day I stumbled on a group of videos he recorded for a live television music show from the UK, called From The Basement. I’m hoping he’s in the works to release another album soon. But until then, I thought I’d share these pretty amazing videos with you.
My favorite is his performance of 9 crimes. The original album version was sung with Lisa Hannigan as a duet. In this video, Rice sings it as a solo with a more dramatic arrangement on the piano. I’m totally digging the new twist he’s put on it.
