Talk about stripping your artistry down to the core. Here’s Tim Easton, sans microphone and armed with just his acoustic guitar, delivering an energetic performance of his song “Broke My Heart.”
If you like what you hear, New West Records has just released Before the Revolution – The Best Of 1998-2011 an impressive collection that brings together some of Easton’s finest songs. Easton’s quote about the release wonderfully captures his musical ethic:
I like my rock and roll to have a little porch-party in it and I like my folk music to have some distortion. That’s been a constant in all of my records. I am grateful that I get to make them with such amazing artists and friends. If you hear a story or a lyric that rings true or makes you happy or sad, I’m glad I got the job done for you. My revolution was recorded. Thanks for listening.
