I will admit Pete Yorn first became known to me when I heard him do a cover song for the movie Shrek 2. He covered the old Buzzcocks tune, Ever Fallen In Love. Love the song, and loved his version. And, dammit, he is very handsome. Well, this summer Pete released a CD, Back & Forth. He also collaborated with actress Scarlett Johansson on a CD that was released this month, The Breakup Album. He is also just completing a tour opening for Cold Play. So he has been a busy, busy man.

Aside from having glorious hair, Yorn is a singer/songwriter in the rock tradition, much like fellow New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen. His music varies from acoustic folk to edgy rock. He is also signed to a major label [don't see those words in this blog very often, do you?], Columbia. I won't hold that against him.

I have to admit I found his first release Musicforthemorningafter to be quite sexy. It has the dark and brooding quality that can be so appealing to me - yeah, I have issues. But the music and lyrics are good, and Yorn's voice is interesting in that smokey and whiskey sort of way that almost scream out a great night but no phone calls will come later.
