about

Songs for People (High and Low) is a ruminative collection of confessions, romantic as it is tragic. Sonically it dances through the rustic Americana of Paul Clayton and Townes Van Zandt while adapting the contemporary tinge of early Andrew Bird and Bon Iver. Lyrically, it delves into the tangled layers of the human psyche, with pensive observations of self-reflection and lone wanderings through expansive fields.

From “Mirror” and its opening delicate three part harmonies, the album nests inside you, slowly loosening its grip for the sweet release of the whiskey drinkin’, banjo chuggin’, washboard scratchin’ of “Maryanne” (the third of three reprises), exemplifying the incredible poignancy yet looseness of Mr. Pope’s capabilities.

This is music for memories and the long shadows at dusk; A daydream serenade colored in faded sepias and bruised blues.

A past linked to tall tales, larger-than-life personalities, and an intrigue that had to be sought out to be discovered. For a decade plus, murmurings had been circling regarding this prodigious finger picker and lyrical raconteur in San Diego, CA. ... more
