I must officially be a dirty, lazy hippie, because I can’t stop posting all this happy “love everyone” crap lately…but it’s all so good. I guess never-ending global conflict brings out the granola in us all.
My latest obsession is a little unshaven man named Jason Anderson. His album The Hopeful and The Unafraid on K Records is on constant rotation for the last couple weeks. Not only are there remarkable, intense songs but also you can’t help but pick up the super positive energy of a happy solo-genius. I can see why Calvin Johnson put this guy’s record out.While you listen to this song, you might hear the bastard mutant love child of Bruce Springsteen and the late Joe Strummer. If you watch the video, you might wonder if this is vintage Jack Johnson. Nope, none of the above – It’s all Jason.Apparently Mr. Anderson plays a lot of house parties and underground shows. He makes it a habit to play at the same level of the audience, teaching them the chorus before the song and encouraging any type of participation.If you have a chance to check out the entire album, listen to it loud and on repeat, until you get yourself singing along.Yup, camp counselors leading group sing-a-longs can be rock stars now.
