​Terry Klein (from the album Good Luck, Take Care available as a self-release) (by Bryant Liggett)
Terry Klein has a keen eye for America. He's the kind of songwriter you find a combination sad/funny in a story as you hang on his lines. He is one of those weathered voiced, a storyteller that will make you dip into your phone to dig out a lyric, and you'll soon be more knowledgeable about a random slot car driver or hockey player while glance at a map to find at a referenced town. On his latest in Good Luck, Take Care, Terry Klein takes you on a random trip, where you'll be kicking it with his family, drag racing around his hometown, and rooting on the sports stars of the Northeast U.S.
“60 in a 75” kicks the record off in a slow Blues mode, singing about being on the road and painting it for the unglamourous work it really is. “Does the Fish Feel the Knife” is Terry Klein singing about those golden questions coming from kids while also pondering needing a license to parent (a test many wouldn’t pass) as he gives the listener a chance to learn about Indie heroes circling tracks in “The Ballad of Dick Trickle”.
“Salinas” is a blue-collar love-ballad where Terry Klein plugs in, he slows things down for an ambient murder ballad in “Cheryl” and album closer in “What You Lose Along the Way” is a spoken word piece of pondering. There’s an ambient-Roots score to the music, and a heavy personal touch to the lyrics. Dreary, dry, and lonely, it’s all heavy and personal and even though these are his stories, replace the names as well as pronouns and the tales will be your own.  (by Bryant Liggett)
