Other Brother Daryl: “The Ballad of Joni and Graham”
“The Ballad of Joni and Graham”
Other Brother Daryl
Whoah, deepcut Newhart reference. You don’t get that every day in 2022.
Other Brother Daryl picks up the thread of new Americana that bands like Wilco have returned to respectability in the new millennium. A strong acoustic progression, a banjo on a walk, and multi-layered harmonies. Comfort food musical textures, mixed with a little melancholy.
This is unapologetically Dad music, but can we call it Cool Dad music?
How about Zaddy Music? OK, no, that’s going too far.
Our highlighted track “”The Ballad of Joni and Graham” reminisces on love lost, but not forgotten.
“I miss the telephone
Two cats, the yard, the home
Most of all the love we shared
When we were together
Ooh I do
Yeah I do”
“Ooh I do?!” Oh, you’re such a Zaddy!
