Listen: Fionn Regan - 'Dogwood Blossom'

"Dogwood Blossom" from Fionn Regan is yet another example why this Irish troubadour should hopefully break out of his "best kept secret" status here in the States. Taken from his forthcoming album 100 Acres of Sycamore, the song was recently featured in the extraordinary British TV series This Is England '88. As we noted in our 100 Acres feature, "mellow and unpretentious, intelligent and never cloying, Regan channels Brit folk icons like Nick Drake but finds his own particular niche, thanks to literate, poetic and heartfelt lyricism -- with the occasional sharp bite -- and an artisan's skill with a melody."
