Country-Americana singer-songwriter. Soulful voice (a bit like Melissa Etheridge, especially on the country tunes), lyrics like warm syrup, humid days, dirt roads. Sensual songs of comfort, love, longing. Not happy, not heavy. Strong blues element. F vox, harmonizing voices, gospel influence. No FCCs. Play any. My faves: 3,4,5,7,10, 13 ~eme o.

1. Savannah Road (3:10) Mid-tempo ode to Georgia, moody reminiscence. M harmony..

2. Say You Will Be Mine (3:33) Upbeat front porch new love tune. M harmony.

3. Boy’s Got Soul (3:17) Sweet song of mature love, domestic/maternal tone, can def. hear M. Etheridge here (specifically, “You can sleep while I drive”). M harmony.

4. Please Believe Me (4:27) Slow blues drag, love lost and missed.

5. Big Man’s Shoes (3:07) Cute mid-tempo old-time-bluesy tune about a dog waiting for his master to come home. Clarinet solo.

10. Lightnin’ Poor (4:09) Cool cat head-nodding, finger-snap blues. Gospel choir adds some flavor.

11. Simmer Right (3:09) Slow, bluesy, choir makes another appearance here. “Stir the soup and let it simmer right.” Well alright then.
