Amos Lee On World Cafe

Singer-songwriter Amos Lee started singing at open mics in Philadelphia, and since then his career has grown onto ever-larger stages across the globe. Now, for the first time, Lee has produced one of his own albums. It's called Spirit, and it brings to the forefront the R&B qualities his fluid voice has always exhibited.

In this session, Lee tells the stories behind some of the songs on Spirit, and he and his band perform them onstage at World Cafe Live. Listen above and watch a bonus video from the performance below.
