This song is pure class.
It just hangs together so well : the storytelling approach, the precise but poetic descriptions, the laid back melody with the strings playing in the background. Guest appearances by Patty Griffin and the Tosca String Quartet only add to the overall harmonious effect. As you listen, you’re transported, and you feel the wistful emotion of the song.
The singer is Amy Cook, a singer songwriter based in Austin Texas. The song is from her new album Let the Light In, due out on April 6th (I’m not sure how widely it will be available, but you’ll certainly be able to purchase it from her website). This is the first album produced by the highly respected musician Alejandro Escovedo. And Cook is very kindly giving away this song free, so why not take advantage of her generosity and download it now.
