TURNTABLE TUESDAY - Mighty Rider by Jeff Posey

MIGHTY RIDER
By Jeff Posey

There’s something magical in this CD by Jeff Posey. I suggest you listen to Track 10 before going any further. The tune, Mighty Rider, has a background like very few I’ve heard. Stemming from an unlikely friendship many years ago, to the search for a dear friend only to come upon the 1939 recording of an amazing song brimming with rich history. Check out the home page for Jeff Posey for the complete story behind this incredible tune.

The rest of the album is a cowboy storyteller’s dream. While you don’t have to be a true cowboy to appreciate the words, they will carry you away to a simpler time with the gentle gait of a horse, the enchantment of a campfire and a strong cup of coffee. A respite from the daily hustle, bustle, chaos we seem to drown in on a daily basis.

When I review an album, I attempt to take them track by track, though that is not the order my Media Player suggests. Each song is a strong current of originality, flowing seamlessly from one to the other. From the first strum of his guitar on Miles of Mustangs to the last chord of Turn Out the Horses and every note in between you have a solid sense of who Jeff Posey is, both as a man and a songwriter.

I have a definitive set of cassettes that never leave my truck. The motor of my CD player has breathed its last but the cassette player still provides me with some of the best traveling music—mostly Texas artists. I wish I could find someone with quality equipment to transfer this cd to tape. Because I guarantee MIGHTY RIDER would become a traveling staple. But regardless of the format, if you are a fan of Cowboy/ Americana/ Texas music, this CD is a must for your listening pleasure.

You can purchase your copy from Jeff’s page at My Texas Music

And watch for Jeff playing a gig near you. Nothing beats hearing this man perform live.

I’m giving MIGHTY RIDER

Please visit Jeff at either of these two stomping grounds:

OUT OF THE CHUTE - with Jeff Posey

One of the many highlights of my trip to Texas last month was the opportunity to sit down with the legendary Jeff Posey. I’ve known about Jeff via reputation only for several years. Aside from meeting up with our mutual friend, W.C. Jameson, the chance to meet the real deal in person is what prompted me to begin my trip early.

I met up with W.C. and Jeff at Fuel Coffee House in Llano my first night in Texas.
This quaint little coffee bar just off the town square offers an eclectic variety of music throughout the week.

I was pleasantly surprised to find Jeff was nothing like what I’d heard. Where I expected a loud, maybe a bit ‘wild’ (in a good way) instead I found a soft-spoken gentleman. Jeff Posey has a depth to him that resonates through his music. And an infectious smile that will warm your heart on the bleakest of days.

Jeff is passionate about his music and told me the hardest part of songwriting is the word – making each one ‘new’. He wants to write words that paint pictures, evoke a tangible sense of the stories he has to tell. Being a three-time finalist at the Kerrville Folk Festival is testament to his ability to accomplish what he sets out to do.

He first began this journey in 2005 with his album, Pocketful. The album was nominated for Album of the Year from the Texas Music Awards right out of the chute. When I asked Jeff what he is most proud of. Aside from his two children, he is proud of his music and the ability to do what he loves in spite of some and with the wonderful support of others.

For more on this talented storyteller I invite you to visit his website where you’ll find out more about Jeff as well as sound bites and lyrics from some of his songs.
