Song of the Day - August 16, 2005

Thanksgiving, despite what you may think, is the gifted Adrian Orange. Adrian recorded the track "Ageism" when he was only 16, back in 2003. Adrian is of the indie folk school, but I was shocked to hear how young he was. His songs speak of someone who has experienced many things, over many years, many of them painful. There is something about this track in particular that reminds me of Ian Anderson and his early acoustic work, however, I detect the influence of Neil Young as well. It must be the plaintive vocals, combined with an almost medieval drum beat, and what I believe is an accordion. Click here to listen.
