Long one of L.A.’s most beloved songwriters, Dave Morrison has made the album we’ve long waited for. In an often heartless world, this is music of the heart. Hear his warmly resonant, crystalline baritone singing “Times Like These” glazed with pure acoustic splendor and be nourished. Listen to his soulful singing of yearning for “oars in the current” in “Precious One” and be hopeful again. “Once Myself” is simultaneously sad and exultant, much like life. “Quartzsite” conjures mythic desert echoes of the West. There’s keen and gentle intelligence, humor, depth and compassion. But more than anything, there’s heart. He projects genuinely poignant details of real life in a way few can do with just words and music. With a stunning economy of language and visceral folk-rock feel, he paints dimensional pictures with a delicate blend of words and tunes. Mourn no more about the dearth of meaningful music. Listen to this.
