The Introspective Sounds of Bert Jerred


I'm consistently and pleasantly surprised at the quality of music posted to the creative commons. I continued to be thrilled with my good fortune when I downloaded Bert Jerred's "Vanity Fair" off of SoundSprout a few weeks ago.


Since downloading the collection I've spent several hours with Bert exploring what it means to love and embrace life for what it is. The lyrics are complex, but Bert certainly gives it to you straight leaving little to question at the conclusion of each song. That's probably what I find most satisfying about his music - the clarity. To me the album is very thereputic, and I have certainly used it to help me cope with the stresses of my daily work environment. It actually may have saved the life of one of my co-workers.


As an English scholar, Bert would probably pick apart this blog post into little-bitty error pieces, but that's alright. My goal here is simply to point you to one of the several audial treasures recently posted to SoundSprout. I encourage you to explore Bert Jerred's works here and elsewhere. Your co-workers may thank you.
