He's getting support because his CD is selling, he's young, good looking,
and talented, and plays guitar better than most guys twice his age.
His label sees a career, not a one time cash grab, understand the internet
in it's relation to CD sales, and are at least trying to raise the bar and
change the template to fit the shift in radio, the record industry, and how
things are done.
It's old school common sense, the same thing that broke Norah Jones, who, by
the way, made everybody else on that show look like hookers and nutballs.
Like Mayer, James Taylor, Artie and Simon, she didn't need trashy clothes,
stupid hair, (well, in Artie's case, he was there first), or screaming
guitars...she had a song...and that's all you really need.
