5.Musical history
In the early 90's Joseph Arthur was recording home demos, playing local Atlanta clubs and working at Clark Music Store.Come to Where I'm From, the album that, for the first time, exposed him to a larger audience (also thanks to opening up for Ben Harper and Gomez).After releasing 4 EPs called Junkyard Hearts, his third album, called Redemption's Son, came out in May 2002.In the middle of a long and successful tour during which performances were, to a large extent, recorded and sold immediately after the last note had been played, he found time to release one more album: an alternative rock project called Holding The Void.Summer 2003 saw him on tour with Tracy Chapman in the US.While touring the US alone and with Joan Wasser, a new EP called And the Thieves Are Gone came out in December 2004.Arthur spent 2005 again on tour in both the US and Europe.Arthur staged his first art exhibition in 2006 at the Vertigo Gallery in London on February 10 to February 12.His song "In The Sun" was covered by Michael Stipe (of R.The EP includes 6 versions of the cover, one of which has Arthur himself singing with Stipe, and another remixed by Justin Timberlake.On March 26, 2007, 14th Floor Records released a special single for the 2002 song "Honey And The Moon" in the UK only.April 17, 2007 saw the US release of his sixth studio album, Let's Just Be, the first album recorded with his band The Lonely Astronauts.US tour followed the album's release.Let's Just Be, which was released on April 17, 2007 in the US and September 3, 2007 in the UK.The reported 80 songs that he and his band The Lonely Astronauts recorded in late 2006 (16 of which yielded the Let's Just Be album), however, might see the light of day at a later date.Live performances

I wrote the song before I went to Uganda
And there I felt a little embarrassed about singing this with them as I could never understand the depth of their plight
During my visit there I was more interested in their own songs and paintings and I was more inspired to take photos of their incredible beauty
However upon coming home and mixing this whole event together
The song (a river blue) and our collaboration has gained power for me and strikes me now as a landmark blow against poverty and ambivilence of their golden expression
