Inside Track Week: Keaton Simons - A Top Story This Week

07/28/2008
. Inside Track Week: Keaton Simons was a top story for this week. Here it is again: (antiMusic) One of our main goals here is turn people on to music and we've found that the best people to tell you about the music is the musicians themselves, so this week we are giving you the inside track on three promising up and coming artists. Today we feature Keaton Simons who tells us about the songs on his new album "Can You Hear Me," which echoes his varied influences ranging from Hendrix, Dylan, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell to Muddy Waters, B.B. King and Robert Johnson. Stylistically he is just as varied, immersed himself in all forms of music, from Rock to Jazz, Blues to Bluegrass. Here is Keaton to tell us about the songs on the album:

1. WITHOUT YOUR SKIN - I'm fascinated with dichotomy. One of my favorites is the global and possibly even universal connection between all things and the complete individuality and autonomy of all things. That's the grand answer. The more down to earth one is the connection between two people who are so close that one may actually feel "naked" without the other.

2. NOBODY KNOWS - I wrote this song with The Matrix (an amazingly talented and successful writing and production team). The song is basically about an affair I had many years ago. It sheds light on some of the less popular perspectives about infidelity. It also shows the tendency for people to think they know what's "really going on" in a situation that they may actually know very little about. This song doesn't condone cheating. It just realizes the entire reality of it.
