Esther, won’t you gentle your bow?

I just moved over all the old posts from this blog’s former incarnation. The format has changed a little bit, but it’s still the same idea: good music, and who cares where it’s from?

I originally picked up Ramsay Midwood’s Shoot Out at the OK Chinese Restaurant just because I thought the title was funny. He looks like a young dude, but his voice has a lovely old-man muddledness. I’m pretty sure his whole act is a put-on, like Creedence, but it’s not really important. “Esther” is a beautiful, slow ballad; almost a lullaby.
