SAY GOD - DANIEL HIGGS
This might be my favorite Daniel Higgs album. I had been seeing him play a bunch in Baltimore and he was playing these really amazing songs. And all of them are on this album. It has a very interesting feel to it, the album that is.
The first song "Hoofprints on the Ceiling of Your Mind" is a sort of drone with Higgs speaking/chanting/singing over it and he really pulls you into the song and it puts you in an almost trance-like state. I loved watching him play that song live. It's really otherworldly in the best possible way.
The next song, "Song for Azariah" is an instrumental banjo song which is quite amazing as well. Daniel Higgs is an incredibly diverse and fascinating musician and person.
I think his personality/beliefs/thoughts really shine through in this album, thus making it my favorite of his. So, I highly recommend picking it up. It's limited to 1,000 copies on vinyl, so get it before it's gone! Otherwise, just get the CD.
The artwork is pretty great as well.
