Foy Vance is absolutley brilliant. I first came to hear his music on Grey's Anatomy. He has songs on Vol. 1 and Vol 2 of GA Soundtrack.

Foy is soulful, deep, rich and his lyrics are profound. He has a unique style all his own and gives great perspective on each and every note and word.

Gotta totally have this one. If you don't you are really missing out.

I can't wait for a concert tour in US or either I buy tickets to the UK and hear him in homeland.

Irishman Foy Vance lived in Oklahoma for a few years while growing up. His music pulls together some unmistakable European zaniness with Gospel/blues/soul as well. His voice is undeniably brilliant. Hope, like Foy's previous work, captures a live/raw edge in the studio that amplifies his soulful approach...absolutely phenomenal. Don't stop with Hope, you need to get Watermelon Oranges and The Birth of the Toilet Tour as well. However, these EPs were never released in America, so you have to buy them from somewhere that allows you to pay with PayPal (like 7digital.com). Otherwise, you will need a British billing address.

I'll be brief. I went from never hearing of Foy Vance to LOVING all of his music. The guy is just pure talent. You should definitely buy this album and look him up on youtube and watch some of his live stuff, its incredible. He mixes rock with folk and a touch of soul perfectly and his lyrics are deep yet catchy. I can't wait to get a chance to see him live myself.
