he is a singer songwriter first and formost, a modern turbadour if you like, despite the fact that he takes a different approach to the whole folk thing, not being affraid to put on a kick ass beat and make danceable songs, i downloaded most of his albums, odelay is my favourite, guerro isn't half bad either, and even though i haven't quite listened through sea change ( after going through hell and back to download it ), lost cause is such a beautiful song that it's gotta be good too...
so as far as contemporaries, i would say willie mason, bright eyes and the likes....
