DOWNLOAD: Hezekiah Jones - Cupcakes For The Army
Though his last name sounds pure Americana heartland, his first name means "The Lord has strengthened" in Hebrew....after a king who reigned around 700 B.C.E. So it makes sense that his music is both beautifully subtle folk- but thick with potent lyrics about god and war. Like those porch-friendly acoustic guitarists we've been gushing about recently (M Ward, Cory Chisel, A A Bondy), Hezekiah's voice eases your chicken-soup-loving soul. But just before you get too comfortable, he drops some thought-provoking prose in a whisper; Take "Cupcakes For The Army" where he says: " No one wins a war any more with compromise and smiles. Real religion is in the mind of a child." How's that for comfort food?
