Kevin Devine is a solo artist from Brooklyn that I’ve featured before. He’s released four albums since 2002 and before that he played in the band Miracle of ’86, named after the 1986 World Series Champion New York Mets. His style is somewhat standard singer songwriter fare. He’s heavy on the acoustic guitar for the most part, but he does rock out from time to time. His fourth album Put Your Ghost To Rest originally came out in 2006 on Capitol Records. It was surprising to me that an indie artist like Devine would be signed to a major label, especially since he doesn’t have the marketability of a John Mayer or Howie Day or Jack Johnson. The label dropped him last year and in early 2008 he became the first signee to Procrastinate! Music Traitors, a label founded by the members of Brand New, who are good friends of Devine. The label’s first order of business was to re-release Put Your Ghost To Rest. In honor of that, I’m featuring my favorite song from that album. “Just Stay” is Devine at the top of his game. I especially dig the organ parts in this song.
One new song everyday until I get tired of doing it again. Click on the artist's name to get more information about them. Click on the album art for purchase information. Click on the play button to listen for yourself. Enjoy.
