Ease into your day with Steve Adey’s “Mississippi”

Filed in Down-Tempo , Folk , MySpace , Singer Songwriter , Video 1 comments

I thought I would post on a track I recently “rediscovered”.  I used to listen to this track over and over again, it is distant and dark, slow and beautiful.  The song is “Mississippi” from the Edinburgh based singer-songwriter Steve Adey’s 2006 stellar album “All Things Real”.  I can’t recommend this song and the entire album (hell, it has a Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy cover) enough.

Listen to this song, get lost in the song.  Play it 3 times consecutively at least and wear headphones if you can.  The piano, the background ambient hum, the echo in his voice – it will all sink in and you will love this song.  Some may not be able to handle the uber-slow cadence it has, but stick it out – this is what ambient folk is.  Just a note that this is the album version, not one of the “remixes” that were released afterwords.  Original.  Version.  Perfect.

More On This Album

And because I like you guys, yes you the readers, here is a video that I must say captures the song’s essence as well.

You can visit Steve Adey on his Website (new store is open) and on MySpace.  Keep an eye out on both as the “news” section on his website indicates a new album being finalized…can’t wait.

Thanks for this great find. On the first few seconds of “Mississippi” I thought it was Eddie Vedder somehow… Just great.
