Ben Gibbard is the front man of Death Cab for Cutie, who I featured in an earlier post. To me Gibbard is one of the best songwriters of today, with the ability to constantly deliver clever lines you wish you wrote. He’s released five full length albums with Death Cab and one with his side project The Postal Service. I would suggest checking out all of those albums, but today I wanted to feature a somewhat different side of Gibbard. In 2003 he released Home Vol. 5, a split EP with Andrew Kenny, who fronts The American Analog Set. Gibbard’s songs alone are worth the price. He gives us four songs that mainly just feature him and an acoustic guitar and shows us his folky side. Today’s song “Carolina” is not a James Taylor cover, but it shows Gibbard’s range and truthfully it would be cool to hear a whole album like this.Ben Gibbard - "Carolina"
