Listening To: Stuart Davis, Something Simple

The Mighty Stu has a new album out on his new record company, Majeski Media.

Something Simple is Stuart's 10th ablbum and includes the song "Already Free" which is the closing track to the Owen Wilson film Drill Bit Taylor. I haven't seen the movie, but the song is great. Hopefully this will get Stuart some extra attention.


The album is a typical Stuart romp through the playground of the soul, with songs about love, religion, fear, addiction and his newest family member.


There is also a remake of his classic Universe Communion complete with string orchestra.


Not as quirky and edgy as some of his earlier albums, but then I think Stuart has been mellowing into family life and fatherhood, and I think he and his record company may have been looking for something more accessible for new listeners. But there is still lots of energy and the twisted mystic lyrics his fans have come to expect.
