Smart, sweet, poetic, vivid lyrics make Memphis-based singer/songwriter Josh Threlkeld’s music stand out from your run-of-the-mill dude with a guitar. His first album, For Starters, found immediate success, driving Threlkeld to head back into the studio nearly immediately. His second album is expected in late 2009.
Each song on For Starters is wrought with stories of love and want mingled with soul that is entirely Memphis. Threlkeld’s voice is easy and smooth, often soaring, beautifully compelling the listener to enter into the story with him. Musical accompaniment for the album is simple and supportive of the mood naturally set. Songs like Southern Charm paint pictures of warm Memphis evenings with music drifting through the thick air, and young hearts swelling with fondness. Worth It entices thoughts of devotion and a blind dash toward love.
You can check out the entire album on Josh’s MySpace, or you can pick it up on his website!
