She's Spanish, I'm American

I've been a fan of Josh Rouse's music for almost ten years... It baffles me as to why he is not a bigger name outside of Nashville. He moved to Spain a few years ago, and met his current lady friend Paz Suay. They made a cute little EP together titled She's Spanish, I'm American, and are now touring the US together. I'm going to see him in Louisville tonight with my two best friends. We needed an excuse to get out of town, and seeing Josh Rouse seemed like a perfect plan.

Most of his songs are produced by Brad Jones, who adds his trademark sound (gorgeous, lush arrangements). Here is a "sampler" to get you started:
