Anybody know very much about this guy? I know his most famous album White Ladder but that is all. The most famous song from the album, in case anyone is interested is called Babylon:

Yeah I remember him, gosh that album and song came out what in 2000? I was barely in high school. There was another single off that album I liked, it went something like “Please Forgive For Acting A Little Strange”, that could or could not be the title.
After “White Ladder” the British lad was not heard of as far as I can remember. Call me crazy but upon first listen I thought “Babylon” was Tracy Chapman.
I heard this interview on WFUV last year. It’s the second one down, Listen. Back In The World, last one on that page was getting some air play recently.
A couple of catchy-to-me songs I heard on the radio are 2009’s Fugitive and Stella The Artist
I remember I quite liked The One I Love when I first heard it. Later, when I really listened to the lyrics, I discovered what it was about, it was like a movie contained within a song. Very clever.
