mr. suomi, mountain views and weekend reads

I realize I've gotten into the habit lately of sharing a song every Friday along with my weekend reads. My love for music probably matches my love for fashion (and books, and movies...) and I've always enjoyed introducing people to knew, obscure or up-and-coming artists. Usually these songs have been accompanied by an appropriately matching image of some sort, but today I decided to post the original video because it's quite spectacular. This is a lovely fellow named Damion Suomi (pronounced sue-me), who traveled to the breathtaking North Georgia mountains with some friends to perform several live songs from his self-titled album. His music is of the acoustic folk variety (and, as Wikipedia states, it falls under the genre of "Drinking Songs" - ha). This is my favorite song from the album, "Archer Woman", and I think his sound so perfectly suits the scenery of the mountains. It's also refreshing to see a talented musician/vocalist performing so naturally. If you have three minutes and forty-six seconds to spare, I recommend cranking up the volume and checking out this lovely video.
