There are a few artists out there doing well-crafted understated folk-pop, but not all of them can boast the eclectic intelligence of Okay, the oddly titled but well-rounded debut from Colorado indie artist Jeff Caylor. He’s got an ear for distinctive instrumentation and the power of the well-turned phrase, as well as an intelligent subtlety that greatly enhances the eleven tracks of Okay.

The percolating organic rhythms of opener “Almost Flew” grab your attention immediately, especially effective as support for his softly graveled vocals. Caylor’s attention to diverse rhythms has much to do with the beauty and warm ambience of the debut. It’s the clever folksy lyrics that lure you into the bouncy “The Ballad of Jon Turner,” a wry commentary on the “currency of the moment.” Caylor weaves his insightful spirituality through his songs seamlessly and appealingly.

A couple weeks ago I thought about re-pricing my CD. This might be an experiment. It might be permanent. I don’t know. I do have a hunch that the $10 price point may be keeping a few people from taking the plunge and trying a new artist. So, I’m dropping the price to $8 here on my web site for the digital download.

Was I the only one who got suspicious when I’d hear “Twas the Night Before Christmas” as a child and the listing of reindeer conspicuously left one out?

I had a weird experience yesterday at Famous Dave’s. It’s a burger and bar-b-cue joint here in town and when they brought out my friend’s lunch, a smell hit me and instantly transported me to a memory I don’t think I’ve thought of for more than 15 years. I caught a whiff of my friend’s burger and immediately remembered family grill-outs at some friends’ house where they had a pool. I loved going there because I loved swimming and they were the only people we knew with an in-ground pool. Read Full Entry
