Mayer Hawthorne


Every time I hear a track from Mayer Hawthorne I think "Damn, who is this? Killer voice. Great vibe." But for some reason I haven't ever sat down and given him an intentional listen, it's always just brief moments of radio bliss. So I was very happy to find Hawthorne and his Stones Throw label-mate James Plant have done a little swapsies and each put out a cover of the other's track as promo for their SXSW show. The typically jazzy efforts of Hawthorne in reworking Thin Moon are nothing short of blissful, and speak to me of drinking beers on summer afternoons .
