The Singer Songwriter edition! with Ed Mellnik
Lots of new music releases and live guests Thad Beckman.and The Duo The Baron Ward.
Thad, Best-known as the long-time accompanist to the fine singer-songwriter Tom Russell (who I am familiar with), Beckman has released a knockout of an album with lots of stylistic variety. He once described himself as a “roots singer-songwriter,” and that sounds about right. There’s a lot of old-school folk, country, and blues in his writing, and his slightly creaky, weathered voice (which has a bit of a tremulous Willie Nelson quality) gives his songs a timeless authenticity and gravitas.
The Baron Ward is an americana duo from Portland Oregon. Chris Baron is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Dors Ward a singer and lyricist. It all starts with one guitar and two voices, and whirls into a poetic crescendo belting guts for glory.
