I have 66 Silver Jews songs on my iPod. I never listened to them all back to back before this weekend. I have a new found respect for David Berman. Well his lyrics anyway. The man can’t sing but his words resonate. Kind of like.. well.. Bob Dylan. Of course Berman’s Silver Jews project doesn’t have the cultural impact Dylan has had, but his lyrics have a certain relatable edge that should give him a wider audience. If he was making this music in the 60’s he’d be a revered star now.. Plus his lyrics are pretty depressing which is always a plus with me. The high lonesome sound indeed.
