You may recognize Ferraby Lionheart by his song "Ballad of Gus and Sam", which played in the second episode of Gossip Girl back in 2007, off his EP that came out in February of that year.



Most recently, as in last summer, he released his second album called "The Jack of Hearts," which I have been listening to quite a bit lately.  It's a really solid album with his signature dichotomous happy, sad, and soulful folk-pop.  His profile on Itunes cites his range of musical influences from "Shel Silverstein to George Gershwin, Hank Williams, and Cole Porter," making for a really unique and cool sound.  Born in Nashville and re-rooted to LA, he really has a lot to offer musically.


I really like this song and video for "Harry and Bess" with a unexpected appearance by Rainn Wilson as a strange, mustachioed butler?  It was put together by the filmmaking duo Focus Creeps, who have worked on many other indie videos.  You can check them out on their website.  And here is the video by Ferraby Lionheart...
