Search - Chris Beall :: Brand New World

Brand New World is definitely a collection of introspective songs that speak of lifelong pursuits, passion and significance. In as much as this is personal narrative from Chris experience and worldview, from the opening lines of the story in I Sat Around , I felt invited in and right at home. The story continues with Chris soulful rendition of Robert Leroy Johnson s tune, Crossroads , and lifts into a light-hearted, folk-pop frolic about purpose and relationships in the infectiously melodious Close to You . Chris is an accomplished musician. At times brand new world is up-close and intimate, a simple vocal and finger-picked guitar, yet at other times straight-ahead rockin . The title-track Brand New World features bluesy riffs intertwined with jangling, road-song acoustic guitars. It s a fun, warm, and down home record.
