Send Someone

The JR Band’s “Send Someone” has a delicate, hopeful sound. Travis-picked acoustic guitar, lap steel and bass form a gentle bed for the lone vocal, with no percussion. Violin and mandolin enter during the mid-song instrumental passage, adding colour without disturbing the song’s restraint.

A familiar I–V7–vi–IV progression supports the arrangement. Nothing is flashy or showy, but the quality of the musicians is clear in the sensitivity of their delivery. Three thumbs up from me. 👍👍👍
