Jefferson Hamer • This Ragged World We Spanned
Media Blitz Record Co.
45-RPM single
One of the great benefits of my job is that I sometimes get exposed to music I would otherwise never have heard of, and pass the word on. A case in point is Brooklyn-based singer-guitarist Jefferson Hamer’s latest single, This Ragged World We Spanned. Backed with Barbara Ellen, the two tracks consist of Hamer’s acoustic solo, accompanied only by his guitar. Somewhat reminiscent (to me at least) of Neil Young, the music is folksy in nature: I like it!
This Ragged World We Spanned is an analogue recording, which earns Hamer further kudos in my book. The 7” single is a limited edition of 500 copies, so grab a copy while you can and support independent musicians!
