The River's Higher Now
Jeff Zentner
Here in Cleveland summer is just starting to seep in to everyday. And with summer, the best part of summer, the warm-but-chilly nights are convincing me to stay out a little later talking to my neighbors, or walking the dogs, or sitting on the steps. This is a track for the in-between times of summer: for the cool evenings, the fading lights, the warm and stormy clouds. Zentner doesn’t care about a comfortable verse-chorus pop structure, he lets the guitar, banjo and mandolin paint a landscape for his vocals to breeze through. Put this one on as your next barbeque get-together winds down after dark and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
