There must be something in the air up in Seattle that helps produce melancholic singers. Damien Jurado follows in this long tradition and has put out a number of albums which offer plenty of contemplation. Originally releasing albums on the Sub Pop label, in the early 2000s he moved to the Secretly Canadian label. You can definitely see how his work is shaped by that move. I do not have a particular reason for choosing "Lion Tamer" as a song to represent Jurado other than the fact that it was one of the few higher quality sound clips that I could find. The album of his that I still go back to is Rehearsals for Departure - give it a listen.
