Indie-folk, country, rock, Americana…Seattle-based singer/songwriter Rusty Reid doesn’t discriminate when it comes to his sound. We’ve been loyal followers and devoted fans of his for some time now and even had the opportunity to interview Rusty at the beginning of this year.
2024 marks the fifth anniversary of the artist’s second album ‘Head to Heart,’ and Reid decided it was time to remaster his opus. Bringing a more refined aural quality to this unique collection of tracks, let’s dive into a couple of the songs on the record.
‘The Story of Now’ is as classic a tune as one could hope to hear, and the new mix elevates its nostalgic charm to even greater heights. ‘The Meaning of Life’ then follows with a folky and immersive vibe that showcases Rusty’s exceptional vocal and guitar-playing abilities, before the album’s title song makes its appearance. Rich, anthemic, and profoundly stirring, it’s a powerful centrepiece of the record.
Tunes like ‘To Find Me’ and ‘There Is a Pleasure in the Pathless Woods’ demonstrate Reid’s softer side, while others like ‘Passion or Fashion’ and ‘Too Many Poor’ bring a sharper edge to proceedings.
All in all, ‘Head to Heart’ is a true masterpiece of a record that deserves your undivided attention from start to finish. Simply genius!
