Dean Johnson With I Hope We Can Still Be Friends, his debut for Saddle Creek, Dean Johnson makes a pact with the listener: He will sing you his truth in the most heartfelt and charming way possible, if you promise to keep an open mind.The title partly stems from the playful way the Seattle-based singer, songwriter and guitarist communes with his audiences at concerts. I hope youre not afraid to talk to me after the show, hell say, sweetly, before launching into Death of the Party, the albums seventh song. Centered on the energy vampire archetype the exasperating windbag weve all encountered at some point its lyrics are at once intellectually biting and unmistakably hilarious. His tender voice rings out like the ghost of Roy Orbison or a misfit Everly brother.Esther RoseEsther Rose was on a long solo drive when she started writing the opening title track of Want, her stunning fifth album. At first, the words seemed almost like a joke, something to keep herself amused as the miles passed. I want a puppy, but I dont want a mess. I want to know where Im going without GPS, she sang from behind the wheel. Soon, the idea snowballed into a list of desires that spanned existential, spiritual, and mundane; romantic to platonic to familial; at once wildly ambitious yet piercingly relatable; all set to a catchy melody that blends her pop instincts with country storytelling and the raw immediacy of a basement punk show. In other words, she was on her way to another classic Esther Rose song.This precise blend has made the Santa Fe-based artist one of her generations most beloved songwriters: someone whose live shows are known to conclude in mass tears and group hugs. Still, something was different this time. For me, these songs felt like revelations, she explains, comparing the 11-song record to a memoir, alive with kinetic storytelling and personal insight. In its newly direct and stirringly nuanced writing, youll hear about rock bottom encounters, shifting relationships with substances, evolving perspectives on adult partnership, and, as evidenced by those early lines in Want, a few jokes along the way. Vivid and bracing, Want places you in the passenger seat while each of these feelings arrive.
