You are sat in a bar and you see a slight, pale kid with messy hair take the stool with his acoustic guitar. Then he starts to play. First you hear a warm, rich sounding riff emit from his battered guitar, you can hear his foot gently tapping in time to these scattered delta blues notes. By now the people in the bar have stopped talking. Then he starts to sing and no longer do you see a thin framed kid with screwed up hair, you see a man playing music the way he wants to play it. He possesses a soft yet well travelled voice from beyond his years that fills the gaps the guitar leaves as the guitar fills the gaps his voice leaves. Combined, you have music that drifts along in a dream like state, passing on wisdom while at the same time hugging you telling everything will be alright.
If you haven't been already, may I introduce you to Ain. Originally from Kildare in Ireland he moved to London last summer in search of fame and fortune and quickly found a studio to record his music to be unleashed upon the world. After sometime he emerged from the studio with a 6 track mini album called 'Close to Cotton'. He was very kind to punt over some songs that are featured on his recent
iTunes release, so lets have a listen.
