Alt. Country for a Fun Friday

Tenlons Fort debut record, Golden Handshake, was recorded July 2005 at Rockhouse Studios in Liberty Hill, Texas. His latest record, Followed By Bad Luck, released this past summer. All the songs are written and produced by Jack Gibson.

Jack Gibson has such a youthful spirit and the fact is evident when you see him dance. He is definitely one who practices "dancing as if no one is watching." You could compare him to Ryan Adams or Band of Horses and not be too far off on how he sounds. Little bit mellow...little bit dramatic...always intensely revealing and soulful.

I feel Jack Gibson and his talents should not go undiscovered. He has a strong ear for melodies that happily stay in your head all day, and an interesting way with lyrics. It's rare to get two back-to-back albums from an artist and be able to say there isn't a bad track in the mix, but for Tenlons Fort that would be the case. Each time you play these tracks you will find them sweeter and sweeter.

Tenlons Fort - "Golden Handshake" (mp3)
