Following enthusiastic suggestions from a number of sets of trusted ears recently, I checked out Hear Ya’s session by Strand of Oaks — with production by Steve Shirk — over the weekend. Yeah, they were right: Timothy Showalter’s impromptu studio set of live cuts from his sophomore LP, Pope Killdragon, as well as the gorgeously heartfelt cover of Damien Jurado’s 1999 Rehearsals for Departure tune streaming above, is a stunning must-listen-watch-download.
