Dustin Morris- Balance Volume 2
by Tim Wenger
Dustin Morris cut his chops with Brave Song Cirlce, but has now dropped a solo record entitled Balance Volume 2. By solo record, we don’t mean a guy sitting there with an acoustic guitar- Morris adds on his own foot percussion, harmonica, kazoo and more on the album. The songs are generally mellow- letting Morris’ words be the focal point, but never lack drive or lead. If his voice isn’t out front, the kazoo jumps in, or some solid guitar licks jump into prominence.
Genre speaking, the record falls into the indie-folk category. Something that is not rare in Colorado, Morris stands out from the rest if not by clever instrumentation, than by his high-grit vocals alone. He wails along with the music he himself created, and the overall effect is much more full than a listener would expect.
