Jay Woodward – The Joker Or The Fool

Indie/folk artist Jay Woodward returns with his anticipated sophomore album, Good Grief.

After a long, looming phase of despondency set on by the loss of a precious few loved ones,Woodward utilized his sentiment for human grief and analog recording techniques to conceive this dismal gut wrenching ode, this requiem, Good Grief. Such concepts and stories of loss and bereavement sing sweetly to Woodward, a man who is no stranger to the contemplative stream of consciousness that shrouds the most unpredictable stage of the living…death.

Akin to the story arc within a movie, Good Grief develops using instrumental interludes and tension mounting act breaks. From elevated emotional tracks like “I Knew Him That Well” and “The Joker or The Fool,” to warm gems like “The Falling Leaves,” and the heartbreaking, “Sparrow’s Song,” the tracks have an apparent eloquence that flow together meticulously, revealing Woodward’s savvy artistic vision.
