So Take me to Church is a top 10 hit and that's kind of crazy but even so I guess it's deserved but after noticing this I decided to actually listen to the album and realized that this guy is a lot like Jeff Buckley with his knack for real rockers that are partly bluesy with a little gospel thrown in just to keep his vocals interesting and while Take Me To Church is most certainly an epic piece I'd honestly have to say that his more straightforward Jeff Buckley sounding numbers are probably the better of his material and never is that more present and surprisingly solid as Jackie and Wilson.
This song is a very Bluesy number that seems like it could be playing in any bar amongst tunes by Stevie Ray Vaughan or George Thorogood with it's very distinct rift and mentions of people singing rhythm and blues it sounds like it's older than it actually is without coming off as forced or jaded like a lot of other artist who do throwback tinged tunes.
While I'll admit this guy's material at times seems too much like Jeff Buckley I do honestly find him to be a surprisingly good talent that has some surprisingly bad ass tunes..
