​Jeff Crosby (from the album North Star available as a self-release) (by Bryant Liggett)
Idaho born, Nashville-based singer/songwriter Jeff Crosby realizes loneliness, life on the road and memories of the past are the trifecta for song subject matter. Jeff Crosby’s latest release, North Star, finds him spinning the topics of hitting the road, hometown, and heart-wrenching loneliness into his personal tales, resulting in an album long on emotion and layered with colorful detail. Somewhere in those ten songs on North Star Jeff Crosby is telling a tale that was picked right out of your life. “If I’m Lucky” kicks off North Star with optimism and hope, a tale of someone ‘living in the city stuck between a dollar and a dream, if it weren’t for you, I’d probably drive into the desert and forget about everything’. The title track that follows is a drifter’s dream, where you’ll follow the “North Star” with anyone willing to ‘come on, come on lets go, we can make the ocean in three days or so’.
“Hold This Town Together” nods to the people that didn’t escape the streets you grew up running, those folks that ‘try so hard to hold this town together’. A sad fiddle moans in “Born to Be Lonely,” a heartbreaker that asks ‘what can I take to not miss you anymore? I smoke and I drink and I wake up on the bathroom floor’ while a carefully plucked acoustic guitar is the sole instrument backing the duet “Heart On My Sleeve”. North Star is textbook Roots music, with Jeff Crosby’s words matched by the perfect backing band, highlighted by carefully positioned pedal steel playing.
