Lately there’s been a surplus of singer/songwriters worth listening to. Just think of Tim Barry or Chuck Ragan. Unfortunately when something good pops up, there’s bound to be a bunch of others who jump on the bandwagon, more often than not with mixed results.
Listening to opener “To Be Your Man”, I was afraid that D.S. Yancey would belong in that last category. At the very least that song proves that you need more than an acoustic guitar and shaky vocals to be noticed. Luckily he kind of redeems himself with “Eli Merchison” and a handful of other songs that are strewn throughout this compilation of two EPs. Yet nowhere does it become truly engaging, making me fear that we won’t be seeing D.S. Yancey on the Revival Tour anytime soon.
Score: 5 out of 10
