For a moment I was convinced Graham Weber was going to be the next great singer-songwriter coming out of the Austin scene. But at least from my perspective he dropped the ball a bit. Instead of hitting it hard he seemed to sit back and take a break (from recording, playing out, writing songs). That could just be my perception and perhaps he’s been super busy with music related projects for the last few years (he did release a live record of rareties and b-sides in 2009).
What is clear is that sometime soon he will return with a new record being mastered as we speak and tentatively titled Women. It will feature a bunch of his favorite female musicians/singers. This song is a demo but as I’ve said before for me a demo with its stripped down essence is often times superior to the final version and this one is a beautiful song.
