Usually you can trust that these daily recommendations are coming directly from me. Whether you like them or not the referral is coming straight from this horses mouth with little influence from the wider marketplace, pr machines or record labels. But today’s post on Joe Crookston comes courtesy of Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and their emerging artist showcase. The festival handpicks a couple of artists to be both their representatives and goodwill ambassadors. They tour together in advance of the fest and then play that weekend.
Joe Crookston combines startlingly nimble guitar playing with original but old school type folk songs. The song “Mostly” highlights his playing, singing and lyrical mastery. It’s taken from his new 2008 release Able Baker Charlie and Dog. Buy it here.
