Greg Jacquin is a singer/songwriter who got his start in the 90s, playing in high school bands and then recording several albums. Much the way it goes for young music enthusiasts, Jacquin found himself pulled away from music to work and raise a family, but he’s back again. Living in Hudson Valley, he was once again musically inspired by the many creatives living in the area. For the past ten years, he has been working with many bands and recently decided to put his music out there once again.
Working with other talented musicians, Hudson River is a delightful collection of songs that border only a small amount on a country sound, leaning more toward folk and Americana. These songs have a strong singer/songwriter feel to them, pop with a blend of contemporary sounds even. Each song tells a story and gives you the feels. “While I was floating away” is a line from “Floating,” a song that makes you think and imagine life and how things seem to float by so quickly.
The eight songs on this album, which includes two radio edits, one for “Floating,” are a great taste of what you can expect from Jacquin’s full-length album that is expected in 2019.
What you’ll like the most on this five-star collection of inspiring and heartfelt songs about water, nature, and humanity, are the talented musicians backing each track and the vocals that sound amazing, with a little bit of gravel to them.
