"Looking For A Good Sign" is a smooth departure from its predecessor, picking up directly from the last song of his previous CD "Preserving the Eror". From there, jumbled echoes of World-Beat, R&B and Folk-Rock flaunt a precarious balance from start to finish. Rootsy melodies are set free over grooves that bounce, swing, push, shuffle and sail. A modern testimonial in a stubbornly retro vernacular of songcraft, uniquely familiar and satisfying. Lyrically heartfelt, usually hopeful and humorous enough to bring the occasional smirk. Acoustic and electric guitars, organs, harmonicas make this an upfull and unique collection. It's immediate, engaging and long rewarding. |
