Song of the Day: Looking Glass
Today’s song is Looking Glass by Steep Canyon Rangers.
Bluegrass.
I know this type of sound isn’t for everyone, but this song is pleasant.
The emotional resonance of this track is beautiful.
It’s equally energetic and passionate.
That segment where the melody breaks through is somehow haunting.
The violin draws your focus and it’s overall feel works well against the speed of the strumming.
Acoustic music can be an acquired taste, but this one in particular stood out to me.
For some odd reason (a mutual love of banjos), Steve Martin (the comedian) toured with this band for several years.
