Double LP version. A humanity-reminding suite of miracle moments,
Someone Like Me
unites a geographically unbound cast of real people in pursuit of a meaningful connection. Taping their lived experience in economic studios in quiet English counties, Pacific Northwest woodland retreats and the big city bustle of Sydney and Los Angeles, these kindred spirits rendered sheer beauty in the process. Custom pressed folk songs of love, loss and the lord savior. Illuminating minor works from seasoned players such as former
Syndicate Of Sound
chart-topper
Sharkey
and late-era
Canned Heat
lynchpin
James Thornbury
, the collection simultaneously honors the fleeting amateurism of hobby musicians. With their one shot at tangible vinyl, freshman
Lynne Ann Kingan
realized her loose bubblegum rocker on campus time, while U.S. Navy recruit
Fred Potts
cut his unconditionally serene ballad remotely stationed on a Spanish naval base. Spartan production continues to reign with
Jon Betmead
's hair-raising gospel, howling into infinite space, and
Goldrust
's stripped back garden hymn. Throughout the hour-long reflection, faith has an intermittent yet revelatory presence, most overtly with the divine choral soul of Seventh-day Adventist quartet
Remnant
. More subtly,
Gary Ramey
and
Jim Kennedy
both turned to song in their spiritual quests, offering their all to a universal power. An irrefutable compilation cornerstone, the
National Office For Black Catholics
showcased
Charles Murphy
's lionhearted account of the Black experience at a 1971 concert. Five years earlier, high school seniors
The Superwomen
would use their hauntingly angelic harmonies to address racial inequity with a breathless take on "Lowlands." Reaching the furthest corners,
Someone Like Me
secures the inaugural license of three homespun masterpieces. Discovered by fluke in the digital haystacks of Youtube and Soundcloud,
Jim Huxley
's bedroom pop earworm melds peacefully into
Charlie Webster
's synthesized reverie. Meanwhile, Hollywood's
John Agostino
introduces us to the bizarre world of tax scam records, with the artist only now learning that his tender psych-folk demos were leaked via a 1977 bootleg. Compiled and lovingly restored by armchair digger
Mikey Young
(
Eddy Current Suppression Ring
/
The Green Child
),
Someone Like Me
pays due service to seventeen rarefied journals of truth and devotion. Adorned with visual artist
Chris Fallon
's figure and flora dream extractions, the uniting songbook is further detailed by expansive track-by-track liner notes and a forward from San Franciscan poet
Rod Roland
. Also featuring
The Bob Hughes Band
,
Jon Betmead
,
Robison Kaplan Ltd.
, and
Ritchie Tierney
. Original recordings range from 1966 to 1990.
