Listening to A.A. Bondy is like listening to a friend that has been with me for years, a constant companion traveling by my side through thick and thin, trouble and peace. His voice, harmonica, and guitar can be the best thing to have with you no matter where you're going. Simply put, his songs are beautiful. The folk genre consisting of a guy and guitar isn't a new one, nor is it a very small playing field. That A.A. Bondy can stand out among this crowd attests to his artfulness. I believe his greatest strength lies in his lyrics and the voice that delivers them. His voice paints the scenes that his words create with such sincerity and emotion you feel the songs more than hear them. If you listen to him, I suggest that you listen to him live, or his Daytrotter.com session, because that sincerity is even greater felt in these performances. Though I may have commitment issues when it comes to artists and bands, I have a strong feeling that A.A. Bondy won't be going anywhere. He is the wise, old friend that I am very thankful to have in my music world.
