Floyd Thursby - Only Rivers Understand (I Need You)
Release Date: Out Now
One of the few wonderful things
about the internet is that a musician in Devon can recommend my humble blog to
a fellow musician on the other side of the world, Australia in this case, which
means I am sat here in Cornwall about to listen to Floyd Thursby for the first
time. ‘Only Rivers Understand (I Need You)’ is the latest single release from Thursby
and it is a surprisingly gentle and folky affair. Softly rippling guitar notes
are underpinned by sparse bass notes and whisper quiet percussion, all of which
allows Thursby’s rich, honest vocal to unfurl in all it’s heartfelt glory. I’m
struggling for comparisons which is always a good thing but there is a touch of
Americana about this and also such a genuine, raw emotion that I can think of a
number of millionaire singer-songwriters who would do well to study Floyd Thursby
for some tips on writing and performing honestly. So, thanks for the tip-off
Tobias Ben Jacob, let’s keep making that world a little bit smaller.
