Pierce Turner: Now Is Heaven

The track "All Messed Up" is fairly representative of Pierce Turner, especially of his third Now Is Heaven album - the rockier songs are still in a similar style, just faster and, well, rockier. His fourth album is an Ireland-only release, a live album (Manana in Manhattan - Live) recorded in New York with a small crowd and a band consisting of trombonist and string quartet. Worth getting if you like the others.
