Album Of The Day: Gonna Get It Wrong Before I Get It Right by Sam Ashworth

Album Art of Sam Ashworth's Gonna Get It Wrong Before i Get It Right album - An illustration of an animal's head poking out of a pool of blue water. It's hard to say what kind of animal it is, since we cannot see the rest of its body below the water, but I think it might be a turtle or something? Behind the turtle's head is a golden color that is the sky, and written on it in a darker gold is the album title, and the title can be even read through the turtle's head because it's semi-transparent. in between the lines of the title is written in a small, hand-written script 'by Sam Ashworth' in black.

Sam Ashworth has worked with a huge variety of artists, mostly co-writing but sometimes producing for or doing other things with H.E.R., Leslie Odom, Jr., Dierks Bentley, The Civil Wars, The Lone Bellow, Michael W. Smith, Sixpence None The Richer and many more. Released 20 years ago today, this is his first full-length album and it's 12 songs of indie pop and rock. Vocally, he sounds very similar to his father, Charlie Peacock, but Ashworth also has his own style that is more rock and less jazz-focused. This is an album I haven't listened to in many years, but it's very good. Sadly, seems like it's not on streaming currently, so it might be a bit hard to give it a listen unless you have the CD on hand as I do.

Release Year: 2005

Album Of The Day: 77 (Pt. 1) by Colony House

Album Art of Colony House's 77 (Pt. 1) album - A photo of a blue sky background with intermittent white clouds from below. From the right side is a man's large hand extended and a woman's smaller hand with purple painted nails is extended from the left. The two hands look they are about to be clasped together in a moment in the middle of the frame.

Released today, this is the fifth studio album from the band Colony House, one of my current favorite rock bands. With the "Part 1" in the title and the only 7-track length, it seems like it might be just a half of the final album that is coming later. Usually I wouldn't feature a partial album, but I'll make an exception for my favorite bands. Lyrically, it's clear the boys have found the recent years tough and are trying to find a positive way forward, and they mostly fill this release with mid-tempo rock ruminating on that. Probably my favorite song at the moment is "OK OK OK OK", which celebrates doing whatever in the moment with a loved one. I guess I'm going to continue to use this post to rant about how songs are getting shorter and albums too now, and I hope we get more from Colony House soon, but I guess for now I'll enjoy that we got any new music at all. These songs are good, even if I wished there were more. Looking forward to seeing them on tour in a couple weeks!
