Jim GoodLeaf - Blue Heron

Review by Carolina Gómez Lázaro

Jim GoodLeaf's album, Blue Heron, is a soulful and introspective collection of songs that showcases his unique blend of folk and blues influences. The album opens with "Down by the River," a haunting ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Throughout the album, GoodLeaf's rich, gravelly voice is paired with intricate guitar work and evocative lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and the beauty of the natural world.

Standout tracks include "Wildflower," a tender ode to a lost love, and "Blue Heron," a haunting instrumental that perfectly captures the majesty and grace of the titular bird. The album's closing track, "Riverside," is a poignant reflection on the passage of time and the importance of cherishing the moments we have.
