Matthew Perryman Jones - Cold Answer

Most of the time I enjoy detailing to friends (or anyone who will listen) exactly why they should listen to a particular album or artist. Most recently, I simply hit the play button for Matthew Perryman Jones. As a longtime fan, I could try to distill down the various reasons I think he’s among the finest singer-songwriters of a generation — the substantive approach, the searching lyrics, the sublime melodies — but it was easier for me to save time and get right to the goods.
