Brushy One String – Destiny

Brushy’s very first studio album, Destiny was released in April 2013. The veteran musician evokes the sweetness of soul singers like Percy Sledge and Louis Armstrong, the grit and wit of a Delta blues-man, all woven together with a Jamaican pulse and ingenuity that shows that the island’s music is about far more than reggae. Heartfelt blues combine with dance-hall-style vocals on “Grey in my Blue,” while uplifting, catchy ballads like “Life is for Every Man” channel a soulful intensity and profound faith.
