| Dawson Rutledge is what anyone who cares deeply about music would |
| be attracted to. HeÆs a hip, award winning, sophisticated young |
| songwriter, a unique vocalist, serious about his craft. At twenty, |
| heÆs already something of a vet, having crammed a full-blown |
| apprenticeship into two heady years. ôWhen I was in high school, I |
| had this great teacher, Evan Bueckert, who had |
| created a recording class,ö says the young man from Cranbrook, |
| British Columbia. ôIn this course we learned a lot about music and |
| musical composition. By the end of the course, each student was |
| required to write and record a set of original songs. At that |
| point, I was hooked.ö |
| |
| This was a period of great growth for Dawson, who also got serious |
| about his guitar playing, listening to and being inspired by |
| songwriters the likes of The Head & The Heart, Mumford & Sons, and |
| Shakey Graves. He got his heart broken and subsequently, in a span |
| of six months, wrote somewhere between fifteen to twenty songs. |
| After recording and releasing a demo of 8 original tunes, things |
| shifted into high gear. Meeting record executive Geordie Gillespie |
| in May of 2016 has led Dawson to record his studio debut, the |
| haunting Monsters. Gillespie heard Dawson at Mesa Music Festival |
| and Jersey Shore Festival and was knocked out, declaring Dawson as |
| ôone of the artists to watch,ö at both gatherings. He, in fact, |
| became so enamoured of the young manÆs music, he decided the best |
| way to get his music made was to introduce him to Grammy award |
| winner Justin Guip, who had worked with Levon Helm for over a |
| decade. In a few short, productive weeks, near Woodstock, Rutledge |
| and Guip made magic together. In addition to RutledgeÆs stunning |
| picking, it also features the pedal steel work of Larry Campbell |
| (Bob Dylan, Amy Helm) on ôYours, Trulyö that suits the subdued |
| haunting work of the songwriter. |
| |
| ThereÆs a rustic, organic acoustic feel to the album that has a |
| warm æ70s Woodstock vibe to it. But itÆs RutledgeÆs voice and |
| lyrics that will pull you in. Take the opener, ôThief Of A Lover.ö |
| ôYou lost your tongue in the mouth of an icy stream,ö sings the |
| kid who has the flow of a great rapper and the elasticity of a |
| cool jazz singer. The tune ôWhen Life Gives You Monstersö has a |
| subtle rhythmic groove, with Rutledge phrasing in a sort of |
| Caribbean patois and spitting out smart lines like, ôOur two track |
| minds have been tugging on each other / It seems no good can come |
| from staying desperate lovers.ö ôHeavy Heartö sports a hooky, |
| chilly keyboard riff and dark lyrics about another love affair |
| that is clearly not working out. One of the trademarks of this |
| full-length LP is how conceptually strong the collection is. |
| Lyrics, music, vocals and arrangements all seem wonderfully |
| consistent throughout the record and each song adds to a powerful |
| feeling of romantic despair. In this way, Monsters is not unlike |
| MorrisonÆs masterpiece Astral Weeks. One song slides effortlessly |
| into the next, foreshadowing whatÆs to come, reflecting what has |
| come before. What might be most surprising about Monsters, is that |
| both the songwriter and the finished record are so original. |
| Usually, even the best efforts betray the influence of the |
| songwriterÆs heroes. Dylan sounded like Woody Guthrie, Springsteen |
| like Van Morrison. You will be enchanted by DawsonÆs first |
| full-length LP, but you will have a fruitless time trying to spot |
| his forbears. |
