There was a time when I would buy every cassette,record and cd I wanted.Then ,I turned 70 and time seemed more precious.Music became even more special.Elephant Micah is very special.Jason Molina,Small Sur, and Pillars & Tongues are also special.Then, last night I discovered Spirits Of The Red City, by chance and this song.

When I heard the harmonies,time seemed to stand still.Only the voices existed.I love harmonies,Emmylou & Gram, Jason Molina & Jennie Benford<especially the single version of ‘Lioness> ,and a long time ago, The Everly Bros ‘When Will I Be Loved’.The players of instruments perfectly complement the vocals.I love this group.

However it wasn’t completely by chance.I found this later,

“His [Will Garrison’s] music strikes me as independent among independents–at once removed from fashion, and plugged in to a vast, peculiarly American cultural landscape.” – Elephant Micah [Joe O’Connell, folk musician and songwriter]
