Born in a musical Celtic family,
where they are so exquisite that they'd previously been asked to perform for
the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during their last visit in the summer, he's
built a frank yet heartfelt method to reach out to the listeners with his
gentle voice and a single acoustic guitar.
This new effort, The Other Side epitomizes
Chaisson's ability to get closer to the listeners while sliding in the space
between the hearts and penetrating with various feelings of the songs. The
initial tune, Beat This Heart, kicks off the album with an amiable country pop
tune with an effortless gentle vocal and a chain of warm acoustic string
jams. Blast Your Way Out also set the tone of the record, where
his straightforward yet, humble music tickles
the listener with a bed of heartwarming melody. My favorite song of
the album is The Healing. This song is a rather quieter tune than others in the album. It
deploys the perfect combination of intimacy and longing of his
minimal musical style. His cordial voice breathes along with
the emotion-provoking lyrics. As it gets closer to the climax of the song,
I couldn't help but remember the bitter taste of being broken hearted, which
everyone has experienced at least once in their life.
Tim Chaisson has two upcoming Toronto
shows. He will be performing at this year's Canada's Walk of
Fame at Nathan Philips Square on Saturday, September 22nd. He also has a CD
release party in Toronto at Dakota Tavern on September 25th.
Check out his performance of Beat This Heart and Blast Your Way Out with Southern Souls.
