Everyday Miracle
Raintown, 2024
8/10
The Santa Cruz resident and singer-songwriter Brock Davis returns with 13 new Americana tunes that he describes as ‘agnostic gospel’ and welcomes plenty of friends for the occasion.
“Everyday Miracle” opens with Davis’ warm voice and Pat McGrath’s stirring acoustic mandolin, as a fuller climate builds with much emotion, and “Keep On” follows with Marcus Finnie’s thumping drums that complement Michael Rojas’ well timed piano for the rugged versus melodic gestures.
Moving along, “You’d Think I’d Know By Now” offers a crisp and rootsy appeal thanks to Duncan Mullins’ strategic bass and spirited electric guitar, while “It Takes Just One” is an intimate moment of beauty that erupts into a gospel delivery thanks to the many backing vocalists.
Further still, “September Rain” emits plenty of timeless folk qualities via the poetic storytelling, and “My Promise To You” exits with a rich and dreamy demeanor of heartfelt song craft.
A body of work that surrounds life after resetting yourself, Davis blends country, rock, folk and roots into his own sincere and memorable version of Americana.
