"Song" by Little j

I am pleased to announce my first Music Review on Mike's Movie Reviews Blog! My first featured album comes from "Little j", a very talented friend of mine who has contributed several tracks to my own independent film efforts, most notably "Spark of Life". The following is a slightly-revised version of the review I wrote for Little j's album "SONG" on lulu.com: 

"SONG is all folked up!"
This album is amazing! Little j pulls out all the stops on this hay-ride of neo-folk goodness. Little j's throaty singing and raw, solo guitar work become the vehicle for his enlightened lyrics, which range from childlike and primal (as in "10 Stars" and the "EY" shorts) to complex, mournful social criticisms (as in the haunting, yet hopeful track "Oxygen"). For me, the brightest gem in this crowning achievement of an album is a Ween cover entitled "Flutes of the Chi". The always-excellent guitar work shines brightest here, evoking the ballads of Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd. The vocals are equally authentic and well-developed, like a modern Jim Morrison with a country twang. Listen to "SONG" alone with a glass of wine, or make it the backdrop for your next chill session. An invigoratingly fresh slice of modern folk!
