Believe it or not, in this entry I plan to pimp a musician I like!
I know, it's not like me.
Okay, it's not like me because said musician does not come from Halifax. His name is Christopher Denny, his CD is Age Old Hunger, and I mentioned him a few weeks back. In the meantime, I think you can listen to chunks of his CD on the linked Web site. Or on MySpace.
There is a Halifax connection: Rob from El Torpedo played on the CD, which is how I got onto it. If you like lonesome old-fashioned folk music (he even covers Johnny Cash and--wait for it--Kris Kristofferson) that's stark but warm and it's not a contradiction in terms when you hear it, with a vocal that the aforementioned Rob calls "a cross between Patsy Cline and Roy Orbison"--well, you could do worse.
Okay, I'm off to the barn to check a microscopic cut on Mitzi's coronet band and see if anyone has heard an update on our sick friend. I'll be listening to this all the way.
I don't know if this'll get me off the Kristofferson bender I've been on lately, but might set off another one entirely.
