It is good to swing back to some good old folk music sometimes and this release (on Berkalin Records) is an instant classic. If you take the time to listen through the entire album you will find it full of straight-forward heartfelt lyrics, some well-aimed humor, a nice collection of instruments (most of them from the string family) and an overall tone of classic American folk. It was quite an enjoyable listen.
Although the most recent press release from Broken Jukebox Media was about a different song from the album (“We’re Not happy” – video link below) I found “What Could Possibly Go Wrong” to be my own favorite. It is a clean guitar song with Boling and Paxton deftly trading lines and coming together for the chorus. Plus, any message about the creeping nonsense of AI is going to get applause from me every time.
Musicians on this are: C. Daniel Boling (guitar, vocals) and Tom Paxton (vocals)
