This is a compilation of artists performing at a coffee shop. As such, it has a very stripped down, amateur feel to it. Some of the artists were better than others. Some are sad, some are funny, some are odd. My favorite was Scott Patrick Little — tracks 13 and 14. He seemed to me the most experienced and talented. Best tracks: 3, 8, 13, 14. A couple of FCCs are noted. 1. (2:31) Quirky, playful storytelling; feel-good stuff. 2. (1:36) Experiments with different tempos but it’s mostly fast. 3. (1:36) ***Fast paced guitar; a song you’d want to skip to. 4. (3:12) Mid tempo; silly tone. 5. (3:59) Sappy, post break up song. Singer’s voice is slightly whiny. 6. (4:22) A clichéd track about yearning for someone. 7. (2:02) FCC obscene. Irreverent. Throaty male voice. 8. (3:28) ***Pleasing acoustic guitar work. 9. (4:35) Depressing, poetic, visual lyrics complemenpted by picking of the ukulele. 10. (3:27) FCC. Mildly upbeat and chipper. A polemic about Republicans. 11. (3:34) An observation of the mundanities of life. 12. (3:52) Goofy, charming, melodic. 13. (3:42) ***Guitar picked ballad. Very soothing. 14. (5:22) ***Unlike the ones before, this one features harmonicas and shakers. Beautiful in a nostalgic way — a great listen. 15. (4:24) Pitchy singer. Slow and cheesy. 16. (5:07) Sung with a drawl. Gloomy tone. 17. (3:42) Interesting voice. Ballad that verges on saccharine and melodramatic. 18. (5:24) Refreshing, mellow. Percussions and piano only. 19. (6:38) High energy drumming. 20. (4:36) Reminds me a bit of Hotel California. | ||
