The veteran songwriter on his latest release, listeners are invited into his transformative sound like an overdue cup of coffee with a friend. His voice is an extraordinary talent and proof of artistic integrity. this will speak to your soul. If laid back alt-country vibes are more your thing, you will find much comfort in how B.R Lively lets the song develop without feeling a need to fill space. This is one of those rare tracks that are able to change countenance and revive even the weariest of hearts.
Though actively writing and performing music for over a decade, this album marks a distinct and conscious shift from Lively’s previous projects. No longer is he simply concerned with playing an instrument, Lively is learning to become one.
Realizing the difficulty of exploring this new depth within and around himself while occupied by the noise of his current life, Lively gave away his possessions, moved out of his house, and adopted Joanie, a 1990 Winnebago, as his new home. He wanted to quiet, simplify and create for himself the space necessary for such discovery.
It was with this mindset that Lively then entered the studio to record his first solo album. Gordy Quist, a recent friend and mentor (known to most from Band of Heathens), identified with the songwriter’s quest and helped him bring this vision to life.
