I've always known that my good friend Pete Berwick would never steer wrong me when he refers other musicians to me, and stayed true to that when he introduced me to Jeff Givens last spring.
Jeff's latest, Bleeding Ink, has been out for a while, and is a journey that begins with Love Brings You Home, which is an honest tale about love, and afterwards takes you to Seven Hot Memphis nights, where you almost feel the summer heat, you really feel like you're out there partying with him right in Memphis.
The journey that you find yourself taking while listening to Bleeding Ink might take you to a strip club, or finding that love isn't easy, no matter what you might have or might not have in life, and still might fall in love again.
This album really runs the gauntlet of the human experience, and through it all you can even taste the whiskey and the bourbon. On the biography on his website Jeff is described as " road-seasoned troubadour. As a contemporary musical gypsy, Jeff travels the country, meeting folks from every aspect of life and listens to their stories. He lives this life, documenting it all in his songs".
When you listen to Bleeding Ink you also vicariously live these songs as well. I highly recommend that you stop reading this, and grab your copy right now.
