Zachary Cale - Love Everlasting 7" (2012) - Singer-songwriter, Americana - Blog

Mr. Cale is just back from his Europe Tour and I am happy that he stopped in the good old Ore Mountains and played a two hours long set at our small gallery.

Beside a live-set on Chicago 's WNRU radio station and this Natch improv-collaboration series free release, the label Dull Knife released the Love Everlasting 7" in a beautiful, heavy, Stumptown Printers Arigato cardboard sleeve.

Zachary Cale is basically a Singer-Songwriter in vein of Robert Zimmermann or Leonard Cohen. Fingerpicked acoustic guitar tunes on one hand and spacey Americana on the other hand.
His music is centered around his remarkable voice and guitar playing, but he always find new forms to reinvent his own style.
So this 7" starts with a beat that reminds me of something from the nineties. I just can't remember what, but it doesn't matter - this is what I did mean that Zachary Cale reinvent his self with every new release.
Relaxed and yet cheery walks the song towards the end of the first side of the 7".
Hallelujah Kid on the B-Side, starts with a pretty nice guitar picking pattern, but the band can't hold back too long to get into and so the song is completed with some proper Americana rock sound.

So the whole review is about the fact that the 7" is for free download for a limited time (sometimes it makes sense to look at Twitter)

Go get it, along with all of his other releases! As I said - they are all different, but really enjoyable. There is no need to dig through the discography of guys like Cohen, Dylan, van Zandt - or at least it's not as easy as start with Zachary's discography.

Oh and keep your ears peeled, because the next thing will be a super Space-Folk album!
