Song Premiere: David Jameson “25 To Life”

Americana Highways, Mason P. Winfree, August 26th, 2021

“Written during the pandemic, the song captures the sentiment of longing for freedom and love amidst the restraints of normative life. Instead of spending his “25 to Life” caged in a high rise, Jameson paints a captivating image of the openness for which he yearns. Featuring Jameson on vocals and guitar, Hnatow on steel guitar and bass, and Tripp Bratton on percussion, the instrumentation does a beautiful job of establishing a sense of wide-open space. The deep thunder-like strike of Bratton’s timpani drums and the weeping moan of Hnatow’s steel not only musically encapsulates the longing established through Jameson’s lyrics, but also dreamily embodies the elements of the open prairie.”
