New Country/Folk Discovery: Aaron Embry - Tiny Prayers

Aaron Embry is working in a timeless style - acoustic country music with guitar, piano and harmonica, and twangy, emotion-filled vocals. Some of these songs would not be out of place in, say, an old Jimmy Stewart western - they're that earnest, spare and plainspoken.

Here's "Moon Of The Daylit Sky":



It's really charming stuff, and highly recommended if you enjoy the likes of Mumford & Son and The Avett Brothers. Here he is performing "Your Heart And Mine":



He's toured with Elliott Smith, Willie Nelson and Daniel Lanois and will soon be supporting Milo Greene:
