THE BALLAD OF OLD HENRY PARKER kicks off this CD with a very cool song that has quite an interesting melody as his story and Old Henry Parker. There is a sweet break in the song with a sweet guitar solo. I like this song a lot.
SURROUNDINGS FAMILIAR is about the death of his close friend that passed away in a different place other than his home. You can tell this song he wrote for him is very heartbreaking.The song shows how he would feel if it happened to him.You can hear the tears in his voice. Please check this song out.
THE ONLY ONE starts out with a simple guitar strumming way. The lyrics once again are quite a standout as he sings from his heart and soul. You can , definitely, feel all his songs.
THESE 4 WALLS has a bit of a country favor to it with some very sweet guitar playing. The melody is bound to get into your head. FORGIVE ME SON brings this album to an end with a type of psychedelic sound as the same two chords are played throughout the song.I feel this song is quite a gem.
I'd like to THANK BRIAN for being in touch with me. You can find him on Bandcamp, Youtube, Facebook, Deezer, Apple Music, Spotify and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
