Kevin Morby solidifies solo status
The singer-songwriter makes good use of an inherited piano
embed-1Singing Saw single ”Dorothy” bounces with the joviality inherent in a (good) relationship beginning. Morby sings: “Let’s go hit the town/ And we can fill a room up with smoke/ You know I got the first round.” Lines charged with giddy excitement provoke a sense of hope, further elevated with textured percussion and the aforementioned piano.
Morby is one of the most exciting, quickly expanding artists recording and releasing music right now. It’s been just two years between his last release and latest, and already the changes and growth is apparent. Might be worth keeping an eye on this dude to hear what’s even better in another two.
Kevin Morby. With Jaye Bartrell. $12. 9 p.m. Sat., June 25. The Earl, 488 Flat Shoals Ave. S.E.
