| Billy Lockett - Old Man |
Release Date: 21st September 2014
There is something about the
rich, pure tones of an unaccompanied piano at the beginning of a song that
tends to give me a lump in the throat. Now add to that a smooth but impassioned
vocal and lyrics about growing up without every feeling like a grown up. Yeah,
this is a bit of a emotional one. Billy Lockett is a Northampton based
singer-songwriter who is pitched finely between Billy Joel and Ed Sheeran and
as combinations go that is fairly gold plated. Beautifully rippling piano notes
are pushed along by a foot stomp reminiscent of Mumford & Sons to create a
mood that is all about goodbyes, new beginnings and the verge of a new phase in
life. Gorgeous stuff that is bound to slay mass audiences before too long, mark
my words.
