FEATURING The brilliant acoustic works of singer songwriter Jesse Stanford of Oak Soldier www.myspace.com/notthemoon
article in PLAY! magazine Check out the article on Oak Soldier in today’s issue of PLAY! magazine out of New Haven, CT. If you haven’t had a chance to read it, here is a snippet of the two page article from editor, Jon Cooper. “[Stanford] gave us an early listen to a five-track demo he’s hoping will flush out his first full-length release and it’s evident he can write. “I always think the last one is going to be the last one,” he says. If any of his latest offerings are “the last one,” it wouldn’t be a bad way to go out. Happy Birthday, the first track off The Cellar Recital - which Stanford admits is his favorite - is semi-autobiographical, like most of his writing. The stories Stanford tells are of love and self-discovery and they make for one hell of a night-driving soundtrack.
What’s most amazing about Stanford’s singing is his voice. He effortlessly moves from one song to the next and it sounds as if someone else has taken control of the mic. The disc’s second track, East Virginia, is reminiscent of early Counting Crows … not in the winy Adam Duritz way, but that the upbeat melody and lyrics just fit. “If it’s cold outside, then maybe I can warm you; if you feel alright, then I will let you be; and if you get the spins, I will hold your hair back,” Stanford sings. It’s just, well, comfortable. The Superficial Area of the Earth, the EP’s final offering, is as close to en epic as Stanford has penned. “We fell asleep inside our radios,” he sings following a drawn-out acoustic beginning that builds to a brilliant mix of strings and keys.”
