Folk Monday – Reconnecting with Erica Wheeler
Ok so first a me thing – this week this blog will be very sparse – I am substituting for one of our inspectors on a soils project. I will be out observing stone column installations from 7 Am to 5 PM with little chance to listen to new music during the day except on the trip to an from. So my posts will be minimal!
Anyway the other day, I thought I would catch up on an artist Erica Wheeler whose album The Harvest I picked up several years ago and loved the songs. The album was full of songs with strong characters and a strong sense of place. Like many albums it got put away on a shelf and listened to occasionally, but each time I hear the songs I tell myself I should listen to this more often!” So like I said the other day I downloaded another Erica Wheeler album. This one was here most recent release, her 2007 album Good Summer Rain. What I found was another great album with songs about real people and places and again that strong sense of place that is found in her music. Having only listened once or twice I don’t know no the songs real well but I do know I liked what I heard!
