Music That Hits the Mark: Denison Witmer

This is the first post in a on-going series that I want to start on music that I feel means something. First up is Philadelphia native, Denison Witmer. I won't elaborate on who he is; you can read about that on his site. What I will say is that this quiet singer-songwriter seems to strike a chord deep in me. With his simple melodies and early 70's production style, Witmer sings songs of love and life that I've always attached myself to. Almost like he's sing as me. As much as I enjoy Denison, I've sometimes found it hard to listen because the songs resonate so deeply inside of me. Not many artists do that. If you're interested in checking him out, I highly recommend his 2001 album, Of Joy and Sorrow. It's a mellow album with great lyrics. It's definitely one of those albums I'll put on for a long drive. If you decide to give him a listen, please let me know what you think.
