John Wesley Harding – The Sound of His Own Voice (2011)

Harding’s new album ‘The Sound of His Own Voice’ is full of folk-pop classics; a lot of rocking out (it is co-produced by Scott McCaughey), some funny and playful stuff (‘Uncle Dad’), lots of stuff about memories, missed opportunities (‘I Should Have Stopped’ ), passion and drama in ’The Way We Weren’t’ (“Maybe one day I’ll try to forget/One day, but maybe not quite yet/Amnesia’s the only thing I fear/Please don’t forget me next year at your premiere..”).
