'Sunday Morning ! Praise the dawning.' Let's find a record. No. Not Lou this time. Don't like the look of the new Bartees Strange. How about Denison Witmer. There's a name to conjour with Anything At All. That will do.
Then you take a listen and you realise very quickly that it will more than do. It's a small treasure. Fruit falling in the Sufjan Stevens orchard. Sufjan plays on a couple of tracks. Older and Free the second track sets the scene.
'Down by the lake it's all queen and lace. Up in the hills it's wineberries. Stopped at a farmstand along my way. Picked up a pint of wild cherries.' How good is that? What more do you need. What more could you need. The scene is set. Autumn has arrived early.
My bath can wait. I'll listen more to this. It's poetry,'Beholden to no one but me. For the first time in weeks.' The record progresses in awe and wonder. Positivity, Endeavour and craft. Denison was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and he clearly has the gift. Anything At All is magical American Folk Pastoral. Splendid !.
