If you’ve been out to hear live music in Little Rock anytime
in the last several years, you’ve probably seen or heard Andy Warr. He’s the
leader of the Arkansas Times Musician Showcase winning Brother Andy & His
Big Damn Mouth, a burly band of boisterous barroom brawling rock ‘n’ rollers.
He plays or has played in Iron Tongue, Sweet Eagle, Booyah! Dad, and a bunch of
other bands. Lately, he’s started a new “dad rock” band, Marvin Berry, whose
music you can buy for a paltry $500 a song.
But, what I want you to listen to this week is a cut from
his Acoustic Demo album called “The
Dumbest Things.” When Brother Andy turns down the volume, you find out what a really
great songwriter he is. With the guitar
amps turned all the way up, it’s easy to miss the lovesick heartbreak, the
self-reflection, reluctant maturity, and the kind of stubborn optimism (if not outright hope) recurrent
in his music. Once you hear it, though, you see it everywhere in his body of
work. The song also has a cool animated video.
The song is embedded below for your listening convenience.
