Joseph Arthur

From his hand-decorated outfits to his boutique record label to his sensual intellectual singer-songwriter approach, Joseph Arthur is an artist in every sense of the word. While his albums tend toward downtempo introspection and electro-baroque arrangements, this Rhapsody Originals session finds him playing straight-up rock 'n' roll with the band that's since become his regular backing group, the Lonely Astronauts. Standouts are the short, punchy "Enough to Get Away" and somber, soulful "September Baby."
