Video: ‘Evelyn’ by Gregory Alan Isakov

Gregory Alan Isakov is a singer-songwriter, originally from South Africa, with for albums to his name. He sometimes play solo and sometimes with his band, The Freight. He’s performing here with bandmate Ramaya Soskin, live at Miss Peapods in Penryn, Cornwall.

Based on listening to a couple of his albums on Spotify, I’d say his songwriting seems reminiscent of the lilting, poetic, cerebral likes of Leonard Cohen (particularly on his cover of ‘One of Us Cannot Be Wrong’), Stephen Fretwell, Wilco or Iron and Wine. Definitely one for my ‘Listen Again’ list.
