MP3: Jason Anderson - The Hopeful and the UnafraidNOTE: As the year winds down and we look back at the records we've come into, it's a good time to figure out what may have been missed. This week I will take you there, and over the weekend there will be 2 bonus posts of albums you probably didn't miss, but I'll talk about why I think they rule and maybe open a dialog. Fuck yeah!You know, I had ...

'The best thing in the world is to love someone and they love you back'What a simple sentiment, but I don't think I have ever it phrased like that in a song before. Meet Jason Anderson. What a great songwriter. I think it's his attention to detail that gives him so much credibility with me. Sort of how I feel about the Hold Steady and Clem Snide...their angst filled songs name places and name ...

Jason Anderson sounds to me like Bruce Springsteen...if Bruce was way too introspective. I guess Anderson has 'emo' tendencies, but his earnest songwriting and the way he names names and names places brings an instant authenticity to his songs, and make them more than palatable. Anderson is one of those artists that I will always keep an eye on. He wrote a song that I have probably listened to ...

I've been away a couple of days in Northampton MA on what looks like the only real vacation I'll get this year -- no email or anything. I did manage to get out to the Flywheel on Friday night to see K records' Jason Anderson. I knew about Anderson from his solo work, which is really nice, high quality guy-with-a-guitar work, closely observed lyrics, exuberant delivery, all that...So I was exp...

So earlier this week I posted a quick review of Jason Anderson’s The Hopeful & The Unafraid and here I am following-up with another post on the same album. I not only feel the need to share with you all another gorgeous song by Mr. Anderson (watch, I will post them all eventually!), but also want to prove that he is not just another Bruce Springsteen parody.“My latest obsession is a little un

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 a

That's right, I said albums....plural. Singer-Songwriter Jason Anderson has decided to make a bunch of his albums free on his website. Quite a few of them I might add, and mostly from 2007 & 2008. Jason's music has a heavy Springsteen influence in his music, and also reminds me alot of Counting Crows (and little hints of Hold Steady here and there).My Favorites of these downloads are On The ...

--- - |- MP3: Jason Anderson - July 4, 2004 I was thinking of going with a Fourth Of July song today, but I decided to post on the best song ever: Jason Anderson's July 4, 2004. It not only speaks mountains of how great he is, but it is fitting for the holiday itself. I went with the "Tonight" version, but this jam can be found on "The Hopeful and the Unafraid" on K, the free ep "On t...

I used to frequent this site back in the day...was feeling nostalgiac and signed back up! Not sure if it will stick... There are points in every man's life where he must pause, assess where he is, and plan accordingly. Tonight was one of those nights. And the moment of truth came to me all at once and out of nowhere. It came as I was live blogging my local trick or treat night here in suburban ...
