This young fellow is a folk singer from Austin, Texas. But is that it, really? His music has a youthful energy that could fit the pop genre. Some of the information about Graham and his early musical efforts in the way: home/backtolife use the term “soul.” But don’t expect to hear traditional soul music with this singer.
All of his Web titles are in lower case so we’re going to stay with that for now. “the train dancer” could be considered roots music and the background horns do provide some “soul.” All things considered, this is a neat little song. “a horse named faith” is definitely a folk song, but Graham adds an interesting ingredient – horns, again. This changes things slightly, so that his billing as folk/soul just might work. The result is rather easy on the ears.
The most interesting fact about Graham and his introduction to the world of music was that the collection of music on CD was introduced at a gallery opening. According to Graham, “I didn’t make liner notes. I did have friends listen to demos and create album art. Their work is currently on display at gallery 5619 here in Austin.”
The music is produced by: Matt – vocals, guitars, banjos, trumpets; Susan – angelsounds; Keiko – cello; Michael – bass, vocals.
