JASON COLLETT "reckon" cd,2012
another from my stack of 2012 purchases..
reviewed this as a new release last year, liked what i heard and bought it...
Jason is a Canadian from Toronto, this is his fourth solo set,was previously in a band called Broken Social Scene but ive never heard of them?!?
the music here is a bit folky,bit alt folk also...the songs lyrics are mainly politically,socially aware type stuff, but there are also several sort of lighthearted things in here also.
the album contains fifteen tracks, but when i eventually got it it also contained a bonus disc called 'essential james collett' which contains a further eleven tracks culled from his back catalogue...great idea IMO, sort of gives new listeners like myself a chance to hear what else he has done in the past without having to research or purchase other material of his blindly...i think more artists should do this sort of thing as everyone wins...ie: the consumer, and the artist, 10/10 for effort and invention James!
