Maine singer/songwriter Jason Spooner has both honed his talents and pushed the songwriting envelope a bit more with his second CD. With a delectably harmonic, subtly emotive voice channeling thought-provoking lyrics, Jason straddles various edges of folk, country, rock and blues.

Haunting ballads like “All That We Know” and “Meant To Be” are balanced by the uptempo alt-edged “Black And Blue” and funky groove of “Simple Life.” Maine is a long way from Nashville or Austin, but Jason’s talents can equal anything that has come out of the supposed singer/songwriter “capitols” as of late.
