josh brooks - tall tales

josh brooks is a folksinger from vermont. he has a friendly storytelling sensibility, and that makes sense, because he is an elementary school teacher and father of three. some of his tunes are funny and charming, and would be good for kids, but others are sad, some are topical, and some are funny in a way that might not be so good for kids...

his latest album 'tall tales' features minimal man-and-guitar production, but the songs are intricate stories, and they are performed very tightly, with clean singing and playing and just a touch of reverb.
