Tues. May 15. 8pm. South Tampa House Concert featuring Australian singer-songwriter
CHRIS PICKERING.
(Fisherman’s Daughter - good song)
(this one’s good too.)
Quoting a recent CD review on the No Depression website by Terry Roland:
“ There’s something of an irresistible déjà vu that happens when, you first listen to Chris Pickering’s latest and finest album to date, Work of Fiction. The Australian singer-songwriter and Nashville resident, who has yet to turn 30, calls to mind McCartney’s melodic side of The Beatles and latter day adventurous bands like Oasis, but it’s not that he calls to mind an earlier era in a way that invites nostalgia. It’s quite the opposite.
He brings the craft of song and record together in an immediate way that used to be common place when the artist dominated the direction of their music in the studio. For such a musically complex work, it’s remarkable Chris was able to forge such a simple and clear and straight forward sound.”
