Brandon Reeves - A Decent Melody (2013)

A Decent Melody is an album of stories rooted in the North Georgia community where Brandon Reeves was born, raised and currently crafts his music. From stories about real people's struggles with the recent economic collapse, to songs about love felt and lost, and growing up and finding your way in early 20th century rural south, these are songs with roots in real peoples lives. Musically A Decent Melody finds Brandon incorporating new influences of Soul, Motown, Celtic folk, Pop and Bossa Nova into his rootsy mix of Rock, Country and Blues that were found on his previous album, Emilia, and beefing up his sound with keyboards, mandolin, vocal harmonies and percussion sounds that he hasn't experimented with before.
