Though he's not exactly a household name, Simon Joyner spent much of the '90s perfecting his craft and quietly becoming one of the finest singer-songwriters on the American indie landscape. His poetic, often Dylanesque imagery is delivered with a vulnerable, often haunted vocal style that wrings all the naked emotion out of his compositions. As on his other recordings, the songs here are based around Joyner's acoustic guitar and vocals, but understated accompaniment does occasionally pop up, making for some nice sonic contrast. The title tune on this EP can also be found on Joyner's tour de force YESTERDAY TOMORROW AND IN BETWEEN, but the rest of the songs are unique to this recording, and essential to anyone interested in the state of modern songcraft.
