Citizen Cope

Citizen Cope

       The soothing music of Clearance Greenwood, the singer under the stage name of Citizen Cope, has a voice that seems to tell a story in every well written song released.  His unique combination of folk, blues, and pop makes him one of my top artists to listen when I am looking to relax.   He not only includes good vocals and instrumentals in his music, but a song writing tallent that is what separates him from all the other bands.  With each song comes a unique melody that rarely disappoints.  
       Born in Memphis, Tennessee, Clearance Greenwood is almost constantly on tour, building up his fan base.  Although he is one of my favorite musicians, I believe he is not nearly well known enough.  His songs have a way of attracting a wide variety of people with differing musical tastes.  
     I honestly don't have an restrictions on my recommendation of Citizen Cope since I believe his sound is fairly universally enjoyable.  His best album by far I think is "The Clearance Greenwood Recordings", and anyone who has interest in his music should begin there.
