Album Notes

Samson Whitaker writes simple songs, but one look under the surface tells a different story. Phrases turn, melodies connect, and emotions soar. Songs of Love, Lust and Faith, give the listener a shot of reality with a unique and original spin. In light of his obvious guitar prowess, Whitaker has focused his attention to the songwriting side on his latest release, Surface. "I wanted to focus on writing songs that really connect with the listener." And connect it does, on Surface, Whitaker has managed to meld his eclectic influences, and diverse playing styles together to forge a sound that is original, fresh, and definitely his own. The 10 song collection is an accomplished and compelling debut, offering a combination of eloquent songcraft and raw emotion.
