Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
"I have the potential to be great again" is the opening missive on "Great Today" the fourth track from Jurado's new album, and for anyone who managed to check in on his previous releases it comes as a welcome sentiment. While its predecessor Rehearsals for Departure saw Jurado offering up a buoyant resilience to the tales of longing and loss he captures in his urban folk songs, on The Ghost of David it is an altogether darker and moodier affair. The mood maybe more reflective, but the intricate home spun stories of lovers' deceit and broken lives remain, as does Jurado's ability to elevate the everyday with his delicate off-kilter delivery. "Tonight I Will Retire" captures him at his finest with loping piano coiling beneath his forlorn refrain, while the instrumental "Ghost in The Snow" sees him exploring new ground with piano and guitar slow waltzing around the room--the unanswered phone ringing in the background capturing all he has to say. It's proof positive that "folk" doesn't have to mean "dour", and it's the sound of Jurado being, well, great again. --Manish Aurora
