Songwriter Amos Lee gets personal in new album

I think this story deserves attention out of a personal love for up-and-coming musicians. Amos Lee comments in an interview about the intimacy of his newest album Morning Bell. He also talks about how he's not worried about mainstream success, a statement easy enough to make after being heavily commended by country music legend Willie Nelson.

The story has some immediacy with the album's release last month and has prominence in the presence of Willie Nelson and Lucinda Williams on the album. A followup story might include news about Lee's upcoming tour promoting the album.
