Perry Blake - Songs for Someone (2004)

Irish singer and songwriter Perry Blake appeared in 1998 with an outstanding self titled debut album. His career, based on sad and melancholic songs, has known many high and low points since then, but I've decided to post some of my favourite records of his.
Don't miss the three wonderful masterpieces: "Perry Blake", "Still Life" (with Steve Jansen) and "California".
It may appeal to fans of Scott Walker, David Sylvian or Leonard Cohen.

    Hi BFerry.PT!
    Thanks for leaving your comment.
    I'm afraid but "Songs for Someone" was the "end of the line" for Blake's records, at least as far as I'm concerned ;)
    But I've found a blog where you can download it:

    I disagree with Deaf, Dumb, and Blind...everything Perry Blake releases is excellent and interesting and worthwhile. He's a fantastic singer-songwriter.
