my friend andy miller released a folk album. it's better than i could make.
currently, andy is living in sitka, alaska working for the sitka daily newspaper.
the album is called folks song from the 21st century. according to the liner notes all songs were written during the first official year of the 21st century--2001.
the cd starts out with a dylanesque tune complete with the harmonica. the next track switches gears and you can hear an immature and unrefined elvis costello coming through.
the guitar work is raw, but i think that is what makes the sound. the lyrics are little cheesy on a few of the tracks. the rhymes feeled forced on a couple of verses. but then sometimes he comes out with some interesting lyrical choices.
when i asked him about a followup album, he said no, "that's not the direction" he's moving in. andy wants to work on a rock album instead for his sophomore release.
i said let me know, i'll buy the first copy.
