Song(s) of the Day # 3,694 Convinced Friend

 

It's April. It's Easter Monday. I don't have to work. So I'll go to the pool. There are few better records than this to send me to the fitness centre with a Spring in my step.

A.S Wilson grew up in an oldfield town South of New Orleans. He now works out of Rhode Island.Here is his debut title as Convinced Friend. It's called Convinced Friend.

It's the most lovely jangly, slightly down in the mouth, Independent in the best sense, record you're ever likely to hear. Or at least over the Easter period. It's probably best to temper my statements with caution given how much wonderful music I'm falling over these days.  

This is just wondrous. It's like spending an evening in the company of someone you haven't really spoken to, even though you've known them for a while and coming to the realisation by the end of the evening that you might have fallen in love with them.Ircertainly that youwant to know them better.

Life is like that. Ignore or even discard the cynics in your life. There's something new around every corner and this is only the latest brilliant example.

  1. Think you've done this before! In fact, you introduced me to the album. For some reason, he seems to have re-released it and removed all traces of the original. It is great, though. Need another listen!

  3. Oh dear. Thanks Darren. It's almost impossible to keep track given how long I've been doing this now. I think I need an editor more than anything. Oh well. Great record anyhow.
