THE SWELL SEASON - ANDREW COMBS - KEB' MO' FEAT. KETCH SECOR

THE SWELL SEASON – THE ANSWER IS YES
Only four years of activity and three albums, but these two are high-level musicians, due to the suggestions and charm they release. Both actors and musicians, she has a magical voice and he is a high caliber musician, thus completing each other perfectly. Enveloping song, a lot of care in the vocal tracks and choirs, beautiful arrangement, with the instruments sounding as if they were one. Despite its length, a song that doesn't get boring and leaves a lot of melancholy. At least to me. Fashion

ANDREW COMBS – TOO STONED TO CRY
He is special, already a guest of this sagacious column. It has something indefinable that sounds wonderful. It always seems like the same soup: slow country rock, ballads, "my cat died today" mood... Yet with the wonderful voice that is found, it gives you a breath of hope, a light in bottom of the tunnel. And that's enough to love this song. Obviously level arrangement and everything else as well, but what am I telling you. You know well that otherwise he wouldn't be here. Cool

KEB' MO' FEAT. KETCH SECOR - MEDICINE MAN
Do you know what is the element that makes this song interesting, if not brilliant? The nail that the drummer's "hammer" drives into the 2/4. After listening to it about ten times, I discovered that all the virtuosity of these two artists is enhanced by this essential rhythm. There is little to add about the two artists, they are truly phenomena. Keb'Mo's voice has haunted me for a long time and it's a beautiful haunting, I didn't know Ketch Secor, but how good he is with the harmonica. Groovin'
