Roots rock Americana with one of the best pedal steel players in the land. Sounds like Lou Reed singing Buddy Holly songs or John Prine fronting Poco. Includes "Over You", a duet with Mary Karlzen.
Bio / Background
Suppose Buddy Holly had survived that plane crash and now, in middle age, was still singing his hiccupy, syncopated rock songs in a much lower voice with a strong taste for steel-guitar accompaniment.
That's what the music on Jim Wurster's "Goodbye Paradise" (Black Janet Music) is like, and I can't think of anyone else who has quite the same sound today. Both in melody ands lyrics, his tunes are simple and uncomplicated. As a result they are accessible. Yet, they have the same haunting quality as Holly's work did. There's something about the terseness that indicates he's hiding as much as he is revealing.
Wurster's combo provides sterling rhythm-guitar work to keep these songs bouncing. - Steven Rosen, Denver Post
