Fall like a feather (Dan Owen) (LP 3430)

Dan Owen  Stay Awake With Me (CD, Not On Label, 2018) ****  

Genre: Country rock

Places I remember: HMV

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Icarus

Gear costume: What Is A Man

They loom large in his legend (The Album Collection playlists): Part 1Part 2Part 3Part 4Part 5

Active compensatory factors: I guess this is country rock (he's a little bit like Israel Nash) but it blurs the boundaries. Maybe singer-songwriter is better. He also reminds me at times of David Gray, so maybe alt-folk?

Whatever the genre, Dan is an excellent, emotive, big singer who writes catchy songs - mostly about relationships and love (a bit like David Gray and Israel Nash).

This was his debut album, wherein he plays guitar, sings and writes his own songs. So, singer-songwriter it is.

Where do they all belong? A catchy album that grows on me.
