Drew Holcomb
“Eleanor’s at the bar drinking beer with all her post-modern friends…”
I can honestly say that I am blessed with so many talented friends. They’re truly an inspiration to me and they push me to be a better person and a better artist (whether they know it or not). I saw my friend Drew Holcomb today in Birmingham and he was kind enough to give me a copy of his new record, Passenger Seat.
Let me tell you about my friend Drew. He and his wife, Ellie, are not only incredibly talented but incredibly good-hearted. We met a while back but on the past Guys with Guitars tour I felt like I got to know him better and I’m looking forward to our friendship growing.
I just spent the last 44.5 minutes thinking about how great the songs on his new album are. It’s not a couple of good songs but an album of great song after great song after great song. If you’re a fan of Springsteen, Petty, a good American sound, or just good music in general you should check out this record. It comes out officially on 8/14 but you can get it at his website.
There’s this moment in the song Hallelujah at (2:56 to be exact) that I just keep rewinding to hear the energy transfered from the studio to computer to CD to iTunes to my ears. It makes me want to jump up and down and remember how great music can make us feel.

ooh, thanks for letting me know–I just preordered it.
I’m actually going to get the CD…not just buy it off iTunes. That’s how much I love you indie kids.
