Will Stratton - “No Wonder” - Borrow It

text: Chris Barth

One would think ballads to lovers lost would sound anything but apathetic. One would be wrong. Still, despite the detached disinterest in his voice, Will Stratton writes engagingly private songs that soothe the soul. When your heart has been broken, it’s nice to know someone else has been there before.

Kelli Shaefer’s songs get stuck in my head non-stop. Every other day I find myself waking up with one in there. And that’s a good thing, she’s a talent!

nice pics Chris. Don’t you love it when the artist brings some cool light. It’s a bunch of low hanging fruit after that.
