One of my SXSW favorites, Foy Vance, is featured in the May 2008 issue of Paste magazine on page 46 in the Taylor Bruce article "Foy Vance, The Homebird's Chorus."
Don't think the article's online yet. I'll post a link if/when it is. In the meantime, pick up an issue and one for your friend.
Foy Vance > the next big thing.
If Foy Vance were a stock, I'd buy.
Just listen and prepare to be amazed.
