Jeffrey Lewis (the underrated singer you've never heard of)
2 replies, posted
I found Jeff's music on Radio 6 one day as I had it on in the background, and the song was the usual weird shit that pops up, but this one was fucking immense. I just had to listen to it again, so I bought his album with the song on.

i don't think that the main focus is his actual voice, because really he's not consistently a great singer, but his guitar playing and ability to remember lyrics is great.
although he's pretty unpopular, hes had a buttload of albums
