Bobby Long at Jammin' Java
His spare, acoustic ballads, gravelly voice, and prodigious harmonica blowing may not be enough to distinguish Britain’s young Bobby Long from other Dylanesque folk-revivalists like Conor Oberst or The Felice Brothers—but then, none of those guys are buddies with actor Robert Pattinson. TheTwilight star got his friend’s lonesome ballad “Let Me Sign” (co-written with Marcus Foster, who also appears here) on the extended version of the film’s soundtrack, and as with anything associated with the emo-pire juggernaut, it launched him full-force into a world of screaming, crying teenage fans before he’d even released an album.
