I must confess: I'm kind of obsessed with this guy and his music. Possessed by Paul James is actually Konrad Wert who lives in Austin, Texas, makes beautiful folk music, and is also a teacher to disabled children. He has far more passion and authenticity than most of the musicians I've heard in a long time. His live shows are wild and spirited, and I can hardly wait till I get the chance to see it for myself. In the meantime, this album is what I've been listening to more than anything, especially when I'm worn out and need a major dose of positive energy to give me a boost.
Listen to my favorite album below, or click here to listen to an interview on NPR or here for a great article written about him in Austin last year.
