You ever hear a song and can’t stop thinking about it? Last week’s The Waiting Room show over on WOXY had, among the nonsense of the Kazoo Funk Orchestra, a wonderful tune called “Dead Man Walking.” Well, it’s stuck in my mind all week and I can’t get it out. So, the best thing to do in a situation like this is infect all of you with it It’s bluesy, with a touch of desperation and a whole chunk of earnest, old-fashioned talent.

Dead Man Walking mp3 Above The Below Tragic O’Hara….. buy it here

The debut album is Above The Below, it came out April 1st. And the tracks I’ve heard off it are excellent! Watch this band man, my darlings, Tragic O’Hara is on the rise and on a mini tour in Scotland. I hope this album sees him signed to a cool indie label soon and on to bigger tours. I did some inquiring, and it turns out that Tragic O’Hara is a friend of the wonderful Kazoo Funk Orchestra gang… Scotland really is a small little country! Either that, or every talented person over there knows every other talented person (something I’m willing to believe at this point.) Take a listen to this one, damn this man is in the groove! Make sure you listen all the way through… towards the end he really lets loose on it and its soul-wrenching, honesty.

(He wrote to tell me it’s really only him, no band! So apologies, and well, that just makes me adore him even more xx)

and one more just cause he looks and sounds damn sexy in this video….
