THE MUSIC WORLD is having a full-on identity crisis. As much as people are drawn to the spectacle of the flashing lights and over-the-top over-produced music (long live Lady Gaga), there also seems to be a movement of music lovers seeking a more exposed and honest sound.  That stripped, under-produced simplicity of a well-crafted song is a refreshing change [...]
