Songs from a small town
author: Gary Bass
One of the most heartfelt albums to pass through these ears in a long time. Intense lyrics, melancholy at times, hopeful at times, but always refreshingly honest without the modern sense of rage and sarcasm. I keep on returning to the CD again and again and I've even bought a copy for our daughter in college, who has also fallen in love with it. The vocals have that mild velvety quality (hard to describe) and Mr. Espe plays his guitar in a sweet fingerpicking style that is consistently beautiful and then some. Interesting production too, from barebones vocals and guitar to some Beatlesque endings (like late period Beatles-Hey Jude/Abbie Road). I look forward to receiving Mr. Espe's first album in the mail this week from CD Baby!
