Chris Bjornn
…But My Friends Call Me Chrissy
Self-Released
Street: 10.31.13
Chris Bjornn = Joshua Radin + Brett Dennen
In a classic folk kind of way, Chris Bjornn addresses the metanarratives of life: The purpose of life, love, religion, even suicide. Being classic folk, there’s a variety of instruments on …but My Friends Call Me Chrissy, such as the guitar, banjo and the harmonica. The accompaniment by a variety of instruments in starts and stops allows the poetic lyrics and vocals to stand out amid pleasant string solos. The enchanting folk sensation makes Bjornn’s album a joyful listen from beginning to end. –Lizz Corrigan
