Last week I learned that a guy in our Atlanta office that I’ve talked to on occasion about our advertising and corporate sponsorships had left the company. It’s a field where talented people move around a lot, but I was a little disappointed because I enjoyed our conversations and working with him. I figured he’d leapt for a Bigger Better Deal somewhere else.
Today I found out what the BBD was: he’d left to pursue a his singer-songwriter music dream, and has a self-titled album, Steve Baskin, out in circulation. Hit the link for more details and a sample of his music. One critic has described it as “southern-fried power pop” or something like that. It doesn’t sound all that southern to me (though he is a Georgia boy) but I like it. The album’s available on Amazon and iTunes and I’ve already downloaded my copy. It’s solid throughout and has a very original jazz-blues cover of the Beatles “Hard Day’s Night.”
Check it out. And in Steve’s words, “Buy lots.”
