SIMONE FELICE – ” Bye Bye Palenville / Gettysburg “
Posted: December 7, 2014 in MUSICTags: Americana, Simone Felice, singer songwriter, Strangers
Simone Felice album “Strangers” is such a beautiful album of raw honesty and intimate, poetic storytelling. A collection of songs at once so fierce and so gentle; turns of phrase at once unheard and yet familiar too. Simone Felice is a modern poet and a fine story teller with the sort of voice that makes for the rawest straight-to-the-heart songs. Strangers is a fine addition to the Americana and alt-country genre, and one which beautifully leads us through the human condition.”
