Sounds Like: Singer/songwriter Josiah Potter from Jacksonville, Florida, released his sophomore album “50 in a 35,” last August. Potter’s music sustains a clean crisp pop/rock sound, a real down-home mix of acoustic guitar picking, poignant lyrics, and fluid virtuosity.With songs such as “Sometimes It’s Good To Be Alone,” “A Simple Little Thing,” “Unnoticed” and “50 in a 35,” one cannot help but gain a respect for the basic song craft that gives them the kind of real substance that the genre is looking for. “Every Now and Then,” the best vocal track on the album, will give you chills not only through the electrifying guitar, and the vocals but the vivid imagery that Potter paints in his lyrics that we all can relate too.The title track of the album, “50 in a 35,” clearly the single, gives the listener the sudden urge to blast the album at the opening guitar line. “Unnoticed,” starts out with Josiah’s soulful, southern rock undertones that take the ballad to all new levels. However, what really makes this track sore is Hannah Beth Potter’s beautifully solid, airy, melting backup vocals.This excellently self-produced album layers harmony vocals and the electric guitar power chords in ways that emphasize the songs’ strong hooks. “50 in a 35” becomes so embedded into your soul, you will find yourself humming and singing along to the melodies throughout the day.
