Personal Music: Brett Gleason – “The Strong & The Silent”

Brett Gleason

“The Strong & The Silent

Brett Gleason is probably the most literate rocker out there.  His lyrics come straight from the heart and his vocals are so heart wrenching.  Listening to Gleason is like hearing your own thoughts translated in a way you never thought possible.  Every song that Gleason has released is very personal and intense, but it seems “The Strong & The Silent” is the most personal and most mature music he has yet made.  The instrumentation matches the vocals and lyrics perfectly, and we know how much he has worked on this beautiful music.  Gleason is so out front about everything, he has even invited us into his home to see how he works on his pieces.  Never has there been a more open, more personal, and more satisfying artist ever.
