new music 2011: GENTRY MORRIS


Gentry Morris: Awake ‘O’ SleeperHailing from South Georgia in the USA, Gentry moved to Bangor, Northern Ireland, in his mid 20s. Having honed his talent by touring the States for several years, including a stint in Nashville, he now calls Ireland home. He is about to release his third album, a mix mesh lucky bag of simplified & heartfelt musical treats delivered in an original voice that has become one of my favourites. His tone is one of pure audible luxury.
Attempting to following in the formative footsteps of Josh Ritter – it looks like Morris is using Ireland as a starting platform for his musical career. And what do we think of that, well we think it will work. 
AWAKE 'O'O SLEEPER is an acoustic masterpiece. Stunningly self produced and captures acoustic instrumentation to the full, leaving you with glowing lush sounds, which blends with Gentry’s vocals and the guest vocalists on the album. (including Juliet Turner). 
Stand out tracks: Fools Gold, Lie, Dervishes. Sublimely excellent third album that is well worth checking out.
9/10
