Let's admit there is some crap on youtube and there is also a lot of amazing. It can take a lot out of a person to weed through all the crap to find the golden nuggets of fabulous but it is work that I am willing to do. Considering that I tend to find a lot of the music I listen to on youtube it is no surprise that most of the stuff I listen to people have never heard of so this post is dedicated to one of my new discoveries.... John Daly.
Now I tried in vain to find some information about this guy out there in cyper space but my efforts were fruitless. According to his youtube page though apparently he is a reader whose favorite books include "'the Stars my Destination,' by Alfred Bester. 'I ching' (brian browne walker) 'Put me in the Zoo' by Robert Lopshire" and he likes the Beatles. However, I feel the lack of information about this guy adds to the mystery behind his solemn and beautiful music. He strums his guitar and strokes the keys of his piano with an air of pain. His lyrics speak of a love that happened once but will probably never happen again. His haggard yet charming eyes tell a story that involves sleepless nights and tears. All in all I find his music to be sad and mellow with an air of hopefulness a combination that is so rare and unique in this world of poppy over played crap that it lulls you in slowly but surely. I am sure this is all here say considering that he has a child in most of his videos but it is the way the music makes you feel that matters. So take a listen to John Daly and let me know what you think.
Here is one of my favorites.

I know exactly what you mean by looking for talent on you tube. The other day I found a guy that did a remake of the song "Hey Ya" by OutKast. The guy is Obadiah Parker his album is called The Tip Jar. I listened to that song over and over. It kicks the originals ass. I like the original to but this is slow and acoustic. Please listen to it, you would like it, it adds a whole new dimention to the song the way this guy sings it.
