Feeler of Pure Joy

Canadian singer/songwriter Ryan Driver has played in a host of bands, but FEELER OF PURE JOY is his first solo excursion. A spare, acoustic-oriented effort, it's focused squarely on Driver's singing and guitar. His voice is a flexible instrument capable of hopping up and down registers as it darts ably around his nimble finger-picking. Driver's songs have their roots in folk and country, but he keeps things interesting both lyrically and musically by setting things just slightly askew with idiosyncratic left-field moves.
