Good Things Come to Those Who Hang Around....

From his just released album Better Late Than Never, please enjoy the ridiculously talented singer/songwriter Tim Jackson...


...and the title song to said album, which I am currently relating to like crazy.



Seriously, forgetting that this song speaks to me on a deeply personal level (for obvious reasons), this simply sounds, for my money, like pop heaven.

Even though, for the life of me, I can't quite put my finger on who it specifically reminds me of -- some Brit New Wave guy, perhaps. Your thoughts?

In any case, you can read more about Tim over OVER HERE.

And you can -- and should -- stream his album over at Spotify HERE.

Takes me back to my pub rock days! Graham Parker/Squeeze? Nice snappy production.

Squeeze, yes. And with no offense intended, Billy Joel. And while I don't want to go off in praise of Billy Joel, the person, as a songwriter - to me, anyway - he's up there with Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Gerry Goffin and Carole King, Doc Pomus, and the like. And I write this without ever wanting to hear another Billy Joel song in my life ... with the sole exception of The Ballad of Billy The Kid.

To tell a relatable story in a song, like Jackson does here, is no small thing.

Have I mentioned the hand claps on the solo?

I'll second the Squeeze comparison, the songwriting more so than the overall sound. Just saw Squeeze the other night, fantastic still.
