"As a songwriter, Jason Vatter put his boat in the water
quite a while ago.
But over the course of the past year or more, documented now by
this album, we're beginning to realize that it's no mere lake on
which Jason is embarked.
It's an ocean.
These songs feature wonderful melodies set in creative guitar
work that uses lots of open tunings for a satisfyingly
full-bodied sound, even if it is just one guitar we're listening
to.
Most of all, though, these songs are stories about people
rendered with such telling details--a tattered old paperback, a
stirring wooden spoon, a heavy wedding ring--that we can't help
but know them.
We can't help but care about them.
Whether or not he's made them up, these people are real and they
matter to us.
And isn't that the best power of art--not only as a way to
better understand ourselves, but as a way for us to learn how to
care about others.
Jason's songs enable us to walk a mile in the shoes of others,
to see through their eyes, to add their feelings to our own.
Jason's warm voice welcomes us as a guest into their lives on
such a personal scale that they become friends of ours.
Living now together in these songs, Jason Vatter hits us, right
in the solar plexus of our quiet everyday lives, with hope.
