Thanks Paul.  Here's another gem

The Busker

by Jacob Duncan, John Goldsby, Craig Wagner

 

 

Jacob Duncan’s The Busker is a treasure. The protagonists of Duncan’s autobiographical compositions are fellow companions, drifters, and triumphant nomads exclaiming their insignificance. The album balances acute sonic observations of a traveler’s microcosm with grand hints at the struggle to understand the macrocosm. The compositions are melodically-driven, sincere, musical conversations between storytellers. The improvisations are undisguised and earthy, exploring comings and goings, estrangements, and connections. 
Duncan’s arrangements are sometimes sad, sometimes playful, and always original. They are well-served by his masterful companions, John Goldsby on double bass and Craig Wagner on acoustic guitar. It is paradoxical that The Busker, a musical memoir of an 
erican music. Duncan’s compositions are constructed of the greatest melodic aspects of the American songbook and, the intimate, yet universal colloquialisms of the American folk traditions. Despite being instrumentals, each piece evokes the voice of a troubadour lulling the listener into a lucid dream, in which they become the teller of their own tall tales.

 Did you happen to order the cd? If so did you receive it? I haven't gotten my cd nor a response to my inquiry. I'm not impatient but it has been a month. Something should have happened by now I would think.

The site says the CD "ships out within 3 days". I would elevate this if I were you.
