I can definitely get behind the way that someone plays guitar, in a way that’s not just strumming chords with a plectrum but really going all out and doing something a little different. “Southern Grammar” is a song that does that for me. Hiss Golden Messenger, plays and sings with a Deep South American drawl of an accent, on his orchestral model acoustic guitar, which is a shape of a guitar that was originally used to play bluegrass music. There is a captivating honesty about his voice that definitely draws you into his lyrics, which are worth listening to again after the first time. His music is definitely more on the minor side of composition with hooks and melodies that paint the picture of darker lyrics, but as a musician, you can definitely appreciate M.C Taylors brainchild, that is Hiss Golden Messenger, which he has been doing for the last five years releasing five albums in the process. Definitely worth a watch if he comes to a town near you.
