Today's Morning Edition music is from Hozier and the song "Jackie and Wilson," a track off his self-titled debut album.

The Irish singer/songwriter will be performing Friday night at First Avenue in Minneapolis. That show sold out in September and his star has only risen since then.

Hozier performed on "Saturday Night Live" and did a memorable duet with Annie Lennox at the Grammy Awards. His song "Take Me To Church" is No. 3 on the Billboard pop chart and he was voted best new artist of 2014 by the audience of our sister station 89.3 The Current.
