An accomplished painter and poet, Shorthand P. Davis lives in Muncie, Indiana,
with his wife and son. His music traces a path back to Woodie Guthrie with a
rough-hewn delta vibe, and the man knows to embrace the technology at hand and
record himself with fierce DIY gusto. He records with a minimum of equipment: a
couple of guitars, toy keyboards, a beat-up microphone, a harmonica. Good
EnoughÆs Sharpie-scribble artwork pays homage to his trusty MT100 cassette
4-track recorder. (Get me Yamaha on the phone and IÆll insist they include a
copy of Good Enough with every machine.) As with contemporaries East River Pipe
and Mountain Goats, the songs transcend their minimal production values, and
every sonic element stands out like bright steel.
