Song of the Week


Build Me This

Joshua James resides in Provo, Utah (by way of Nebraska) and may be one of the most talented local singer-songwriters we have seen in a long time. Some of his second album, Build Me This, was recorded in American Fork and the collection of songs has received glowing reviews for its literate Americana and deep-rooted sounds--opening track "Coal War" is a righteous gospel-tinged stomper.

Check out the video for the excellent "Weeds," which was clearly filmed on location in Utah. The D Man doesn't believe baptism is supposed to be this dangerous, but it's probably a good idea, if you're thinking of salvation, to let someone other than the self-annointed greasy-haired preacher guy handle the duties.
