talented friends and the kindness of strangers
Friends:
Jim (James Michael Taylor) is a Fort Worth singer songwriter who just released a CD called Slaughter Mountain. The songs are about Tennessee and coal mines and those photos in your high school year book that you can't forget. He combines the raw, country, hillbilly rhythms and mixes them up with his haunting, well drawn lyrics. ( I know I'm not a music writer, I'll just say this album makes me want to drink really strong coffee and study the sunlight on a spider web.)
The Fort Worth Weekly gave him a full page review. They don't do that too often. They did it for Jim. It's good. Here's the review. You can buy the CD here.
Strangers:
Today when I was at the local Randalls, the cashier reached into her own wallet and pulled out a $1 off coupon for something in my basket just because she had it. It seems like a small gesture, but it isn't. It's nice without needing to be nice.
