The Fifty States Project

Remember Sufjan Stevens? His concept was crazy. And he gave up on it. Creating an album for every state in America. FIFTY ALBUMS. Fifty concept albums. He lived in the chosen state and wrote about it, and it's history. He did: Michigan and Illinois. And then stopped. He was later interviewed saying it was a gimmick.
His more recent tracks I haven't loved as much as his older ones. I thought he was really gifted, and so many of his songs sounded so different from the previous. He's one talented man. He's some picks of the bunch:
