about

That’s the Thing of It; That’s the Way of It

These are the hymns of the elusive Jimmy Crouse, recorded at home in 2019 and shared just as raw as they arrived. Those new to the story may benefit from hearing his earlier releases, Not Take Upon Oneself To Say and Myth Of The Great Outright Extraordinary (Studio Recordings ‘91-95), and his collaborative work with Remote Choir. The song poems that comprise That’s the Thing of It; That’s the Way of It feel a bit like unEarthed fragments of a long decayed American songbook. They speak to an acceptance of what is remembered, rather than what has been forgotten. A few words, distanced from context. Some chords held together by tenuous gravity. Are they pieces of a larger whole? Or self-contained miniatures? I prefer to think of them as credible attempts at actually stopping time once and for all. Highlights: Hurt a Way A, Moreso, Took a Punch in A, Marrowbones (Revised)
