​Forest Sun (from the album Stubborn Beating Heart available on Painted Sun Records) (by Bryant Liggett)
The latest from Folkie Forest Sun is a smorgasbord sound of a record. When you’re hungry but can’t decide on an entrée, hit the buffet for a little bit of everything. That is what Forest Sun lays out on Stubborn Breathing Heart is an album were straight ahead Folk tunes kick it with a few reggae-tinged cuts while laidback, soulful Blues numbers round out the menu. It is an offering that’s satisfying and balanced, diverse but non-committal in genre exploration that keeps Stubborn Beating Heart from being scattered. “Keep on Rollin’” opens the record with old-school Reggae groove while an organ swells give “Where Is My Home” a Folkie Gospel feel. Forest Sun can also pen a ponderable, slacker-Gospel statement singing ‘just because you want it, doesn’t mean you need it, just because you have it, doesn’t make it yours’ on “Just Because You Want It”.
“Something You Got” is a stylish cut pulled from a swinging Blues lounge that finds Forest Sun out in front of a grooving horn section, the Reggae returning for “Let Your Love Shine” while “This Old Heart”, is a Todd Snider inspired Folk singalong. Album closer, “On My Way to You” is a coming-home ballad with soft plucked guitar notes, an apt closer for a record that digs into the tender Folk, easy going Blues, and classic reggae, all of it an appetizing spread.
