Good Stuff Thursday - Making Good of Things
Another Thursday rolls around, and I’m tired and a bit out of sorts again (anybody sensing a pattern here?), so it’s just the right moment for me to fulfill my self-assignment of listing good things on this sunny day. So here goes.
1. Jason Harrod’s new CD Bright as You arrived in my mailbox yesterday, and I’m loving it. Harrod has a great voice - clear and husky, just imperfect enough to make it beautiful, and his guitar-playing is wonderful, too (especially on this record where he’s backed by legendary guitarist Phil Madeira). The songs blend together folk, blues, a little alt-country, and great lyrics to make enjoyable and insightful lyrics. You can take a listen to a couple of numbers on Harrod’s website. And if you like what you hear, I’ll be doing an interview with him on this blog in the next couple of weeks, so stay-tuned.
