Song(s) of the Day # 3,693 Dent May

 


You find yourself sitting facing a cleancut young man of the kind you could definitely bring back and meet mother. Sitting at a breakfast table sitting sipping tea. With a fried breakfast and a neat pile of pancakes awaiting his attention.

Dent May is from Mississippi but now finds hmself in LA. 'He's trying just as hard as he can. To be a clean cut dependable kind of man.' Rather more Andrew Gold than Randy Newman. Cynicism doesn't seem to be a suit that he trades in.

Instead What's For Breakfast trades in the wholesome. Your attention may wander after a few songs and you may find yourself reaching for the dial. I'm afraid mine did. I opted for the latest Holiday Ghosts record. It wasn't a decision I regretted.

  1. Yes, I only came across him through the track with Jordana, but didn't get far with the album either. Can recommend the Conor Lynch album for some lovely folk/country vibes.
