Only” and “You Have Stolen My
Heart.” Harmonious parents of
families quarantined together will
feel the same about the album’s
many references to those bonds.
The best track on “Local Honey”
is the latest single, “Horses,” which
equates the beauty and strength
of the beloved animal with the
kind of faith and hope it takes
make a relationship as strong as
it is beautiful. I love this song because
it also best expresses Brian’s
faith in Jesus and family (he dedicates
“Local Honey” to both). And
the deeply Irish-rooted balladeer
does so with a slight Celtic tinge.
“Horses” was the Makin Waves
Song of the Week.
Brian was supposed to be on
tour right now with his band, the
Howling Weather, that was to include
a two-night stand at his
hometown venue, the Count Basie
Theatre, but the virus crisis nixed
the remainder of the schedule.
Hopefully, it will be made up soon
… and safely.
