It is not too often that I get vinyl to review, but yesterday was an exception. I received the album Southern Dissonance, the debut album by New Orleans artist Kevin The Persian, released on January 19, 2022, which was recorded over several months in 2021 in a tiny room in an old industrial building in New Orleans with no access to the outside world. This is a great idea if you want to create something without any outside interference, which does happen in a lot of studios. This nine-track album of original material of rock and blues showcases his amazing vocals and musicianship on such tracks as Coping Mechanisms, Persian Delta Blues, his first single Rock is Dead, the title track Southern Dissonance, and so much more. I enjoyed this album from start to finish with a spectacular performance, brilliant songwriting talent and a superb job of recording and production.
This is an artist I would love to hear more from in the future and if he was ever to perform live in my area, I would definitely go and see and write a concert review. I know you will enjoy this album which is available on Vinyl, CD and digital download from Bandcamp, Spotify, Discogs and many other music retailers.
