I got the heads up on Ramsay Midwood a few years back from my good friend Drew Thomas and it has taken me at least three years to "get it." He sounds like a mush-mouthed bluesman that writes songs that fit somewhere in-between Bob Dylan and The Bottle Rockets. Dylan in that there is more depth than most songwriters. Bottle Rockets in the way that he doesn't seem to take himself all too seriously. Or maybe more accurately, he can see the levity in dreary living. His vocal stylings take some time to get used to but there is a reward for putting in time with this artist. The songs start to open up with familiarity and seeing Midwood for the artist he strives to be is reward enough for the work.
