I had an “a ha” moment this morning. A ha! This is why I have a music blog! A ha! This is what music should sound like! And simply, a ha!
Sam Doores is a New Orleans based folk singer who grew up singing gospel at church, was converted to folk after seeing Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, and then took the course of many young artists by exploring the music of Dylan, Gutherie, et al. Seeing that he is presently in New Orleans it’s no surprise that a bit of jazz and afrobeat have crept into his music. Sam Doores doesn’t have a proper debut record out as far as I can tell. These songs are lofi samples off an early demo ep. As you can hear he’s onto something special; I hope to hear more from Sam in the months to come.
Catch Sam Doores at Circle Bar in New Orleans on Jan 15 or at the annual Folk Alliance shindig in Feb. in Memphis.
