Great vibes to play over and over again…

LIGHTS ALL ASKEW – Album by CHRIS WATKINS

CHRIS WATKINS is and will be an eternal troubadour blessed with a highly companionable Americana voice. Honest and spirited. He obviously composes songs genuinely based on inside reflections about outside observations. His muse breathes humanity and catharsis. His thoughts are inspiring and recognizable. His music sounds like a lifelong close friend coming to visit you for a long night of reviving old, melancholic stories. Heartwarming soul music for a variety of feelings. No special effects. Just guitar and words that will get you involved naturally and instantly. New album LIGHTS ALL ASKEW is a soundtrack that helps to cherish your own private memories. And I, just like you and anybody else, have many moments, happy and sad, to remember, now and then. Before listening to that appealing beauty in full – again – I want to seduce you with the sweet, little track I fell in love with on first hearing. A moody sentiment colored with a gripping female voice that prefers to stay in the shadow, reminding me of the wonderful Mazzy Starr. Feel it here…

I’m busted to the ground
Like a rustic in the lane
The city is wired like an electric choir
Like a ghost outside the window in the rain
This looking glass life
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
This looking glass life
When the leaves begin to fall
When the leaves begin to fall, on anchortown
I was walking through the field
Like a Cossack in my clothes
When the thresher came on line
It stripped us to the bone
This looking glass life
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
This looking glass life
When the leaves begin to fall
When the leaves begin to fall on anchortown

I guess we’re all ready now to sit back, relax and enjoy – I’ll open
a fine bottle of red Bordeaux – the touching sound of silence…
