Sean Hayes’ not so hidden tracks

So I recently picked up another album from Sean Hayes and realized that I have never really posted anything on him.  I mean he is a great singer songwriter and I always seem to enjoy his music – so what’s going on, let’s rectify this situation.

Sean Hayes – resident of San Francisco by way of New York – is described on his own website as having “free spirited charm” and even “loose & dusty” which I am not sure actually describes his music – I may be missing something though….

There are soo many descriptions of folk music these days that one doesn’t really know from a few words alone, so I thought I would head back a few years and provide some almost “classic” Sean Hayes tracks.  You all may be familiar with his newer albums, most notably “Flowering Spade” and “Big Black Hole and the Little Baby Star” which are both pretty damn good albums.  These are the albums that actually welcomed me into the same world as Mr. Hayes and of which I am quite fond of.

But I digress.  As if you are a fan of (or are about to be a fan of) Sean Hayes, you need to hit the earlier stuff as it is full of his great singer songwriter chops, mixed in with what can be said is his warm and unique vocals.  I am partial to Hayes vocals and I don’t know why.  I am the first to say that I truly prefer a musician that has a trademark sound or something that might stylistically separate them from the sea of others.  For Hayes has that in his great voice, and his music very easily follows suit.  You can almost see it in the photo at the top of this post – while a great photo, there seems something inviting and unique within it.  I just think you all should enjoy it along with me.

Hope you like some tracks from a few years back, but make sure you swing by his Website and his MySpace page to say hi, and even pick up an album if you so desire (you do).

  • Great artist.

    Definitely check out the album ‘Alabama Chicken’ as well, possibly my favorite Sean Hayes record. Features guest vocals by former Be Good Tanya, Jolie Holland.

  • That is funny, as the album that I spoke of that I just picked up was Alabama Chicken – good to know about Jolie Holland though. Really like it so far.

    Thanks as well for commenting, love your stuff as well!

  • Yeah, Jolie and Sean are buds, at least they used to be? Sean has toured with Jolie for years. That’s where I was first introduced to him about three four years ago. Both being from the Bay area at the time. Seems Jolie now resides in NYC. A great cat live, and nice fella! FYI: Sean also appears as guest vocalist on Aimee Mann’s last disc.

  • i love sean hayes. i rarely know of people who have heard his music. anyways, props for good taste : )
