"Song for Lula" by Phosphorescent

Song: Song for Lula
Artist: Phosphorescent
Album: Muchacho
Also try:  BPB's I See a Darkness, Paleo
Commentary: I've always thought of Phosphorescent as a second-rate Bonnie 'Prince' Billy (who, granted, himself puts out second-rate BPB about half the time). IMO, Phosphorescent's 2013 offering, Muchacho, is a pretty nice folk album with well-written songs (okay, he's had some before) , decent lyrics (if questionable song titles), and interesting electronic touches. Matthew Houck doesn't sound like he's trying to rip off Will Oldham anymore and this album's nice.
