Back in 2022, singer songwriter Ken Newman released ‘What Am I Afraid Of?’, an album loaded with thoughtful, narrative pieces that chimed with an increasingly uneasy world. Between the roots rock sounds of ‘Nothing To See Here’, the politically charged ‘I Can’t Breathe’ and ‘I Dream of Guns’, and the retro power pop meets Americana sounds of ‘Away From You’, the album showcased a thoughtful wordsmith, adrift in an ever failing US. For those not into lyrical concerns, Ken ensured the music was always of a standard that allowed the songs to flow on their own terms, presenting a great arranger at work.
