Beautifully captured acoustic guitar and harmonica, an organic set-up with a bluesy undertone – Ben Gage masters the songwriting and production space for real-time folk music, with the wonderful single Corner.
Standing tall on this organic folk set-up from the outset, we then get a quirky smooth vocal lead from Ben, and a topic and title that naturally lingers in the mind.
We soon wind up swaying amidst a blues-folk performance that’s both uplifting and comforting, depending on what you need from it, and Ben Gage employs clear humility and heart in delivering something not excessively vocal but clearly built around the central beating heart and mood of the music.
That quality makes all the difference, and as such, Corner is something of a timeless acoustic track, and one that’s an easy joy to appreciate whenever it reappears in your daily playlist.
