It's Sam Baker and the song "Waves". Also a good example of how 'delivery' of a song is more important than the voice you have - in a sort of Steve Earle kind of a way. The dreaded Blues Harp is an added bonus (?). Even if you don't like the song, it's a good story
I think this might be one for Les.
