The Free Times of Columbia, South Carolina writes, "Chris Compton is a songwriting chameleon, equally able at penning power-pop hooks as he is ingeniously off-kilter folk tunes." Chris Compton adores the marriage of words with melody while playing a wide array of instruments on his recordings in the studio. But one thing that seems to flummox the poet turned musician is talking about himself. He'd much rather discuss songs from his new CD Field Tech, his band The Fossil Record and how he's inspired by the universality of all that music conveys.
RockOm's featured track this week is Chris' song "Friends" - an instantly infectious reflection written about a fellow musician whose life was cut short by cancer. "Friends" will be featured all week on the homepage for your listening pleasure.
Also, on Thursday be sure to catch the latest RockOm podcast for an interview with Chris Compton.
