Bobby Strange and Strange Nation
"My Little World"

Released in 2007

Bobby Strange is a singer-songwriter from New Jersey who moved to California many years ago. He's lovingly referred to as the greatest songwriter you've never heard.

Sadly, I could not find this song online but I did find a solo live performance of it.
