Album Of The Week.

Still extremely busy out in Bali and back in Kuta. But that is no excuse for continuing my album of the week series…

This week I’ve really gotten into the new disc from Mat Kearney….City Of Black & White is an album informed by the traveling, performing and adventuring the Oregon-born, Nashville-based singer did while supporting that breakthrough album. An open-hearted album of self-discovery, City of Black & White is a chronicle of the people he met and missed during that journey. Musically, it’s an upping of the ante, laced with hooks and rhythms that are meant to sneak up on you quietly and quickly, en route to winning your love. You gotta love a good ol’ Eugene boy making it big! Thanks to Lucas who got me hooked on this guy a couple of years ago…

Here is the first track off the album, “All I Have”.
