Jason Boesel: Hustler's Son

Copy at Case Memorial Library
Contents: Black waves — Hand of God — French kissing — Burned out and busted — New world mama — Miracles — Hustler's son — Getting healthy (good luck) — I got the reason #1 — Was it, man? — Winking eyes. All songs written by Jason Boesel.
Sample lyrics: "I know there ain't nothing wrong/ With making love right there in a song/ Well I did it all 2007 long … Tan lines, I've seen a few/ But they fade away just like their maker do/ Lights going off, they always come back on …" ("I Got the Reason #1")
"A smart and much needed fresh slice of Americana, from a man who spends most of his time sitting behind the drums for Rilo Kiley and Bright Eyes, 'Hustler's Son' finds Boesel trading in his drum mount for the songwriter's seat, and with help from David Rawlings and Benmont Tench, delivers a very strong debut. Check this record out, especially 'Burned Out And Busted' and 'Winking Eyes.' You WILL get lost" (Sal Nunziato, "Compact Reviews of This Week's Compact Discs, for Those Who Still Care #8," Huffington Post, 1/11/10).
