Acoustic, simple, warm, and cozy. Those tend to be good attributes for a song and with a click, you can have that package neatly wrapped up in this track from A.A. Bondy. This reminds me of falling asleep, mid-Sunday morning, reclining in a borrowed sun room. It’s cheery thing to wake up to, especially when you wake up to an overcast morning. I like the line, “I am a fire and I must burn to

On his new album When The Devil's Loose, which...

Bondy fuses imagery of moonlit nights and limitless oceans with religious mysticism to evoke a beauty in nihilism.Mr. Bondy stubs his cigarette into an overfull ashtray. Tightening the strap on his dusty guitar case, Bondy walks down the creaky steps of his front porch where the pinky fingers of another morning are beginning to spread across the Tennessee sky. His blue-jeans are stained with ga...

Once upon a time, in a place far, far away (…well, Alabama at least), Scott Bondy recording loud, crunchy guitar rock in a band called Verbena. All of that is well in the past now as Bondy, recording under the name A.A., releases his second batch of solo songs.

My affection for A.A. Bondy is threatening my heterosexuality. It’s partially because of the music, but there’s also an allure to his persona. The folk singer that takes the stage with his trusty guitar, harmonica and warm voice that can soothe even the most hardened soul. The lone troubadour that earns his keep in front [...]

Scott Bondy isn't the first artist to make the transition from rock 'n' roller to folk singer/songwriter, but as these kinds of musical career changes go, his is among the most successful. When his rock band, Verbena, broke up in 2003, Scott laid low for a few years before emerging again as A.A. Bondy, barely resembling his former, angsty self and crafting simple acoustic songs that earned numerou

"This is the leaving of another love / This is the howling at the moon / These are the arms you fell into / I am a fire and I must burn today." On "I Can See The Pines Are Dancing"—a rare but welcome uptempo track from the folksy roots songwriter A.A.
