Post Description

Een super relaxed album dat je tussen folk en country kunt plaatsen. Heel leuk. 

On his previous album, Among The Faceless Crowd, largely built around just his acoustic guitar, Ben Bostick offered a snapshot of a broken America from a disillusioned working man’s perspective, unable to make a living, conjuring thoughts of Chip Taylor and dustbowl Springsteen.  His latest is a much more personal affair, the financial shock of the pandemic on a working musician extending its predecessor’s concerns but, more crucially, informed by their eldest daughter, Carmela, being diagnosed with Rett Syndrome, a rare and severe life-changing genetic disorder.  His response was to write an album of love songs to help them all get through the trials, one that’s far more lyrically and musically upbeat than you might imagine, given the circumstances.

It’s also a fuller sound with various guests affording more dynamic instrumentation, as evidenced from its opening track Different Woman, which channels Paul Simon’s Gracelands and features Wurlitzer, tenor and alto sax, fretless bass, and backing vocals from The BlackBettys. Inspired by a comment by the author Paolo Coehlo how the woman he was married to was a different woman than the girl he married 40 years ago, it’s a celebration of how love changes over the years, sometimes for the worse, but more often for the better, as we become different people, with different dreams and different attitudes, bringing the bonds closer together.
