Who Will Be Next

Joe Purdy

A collection of modern protest songs delivered with a gentle rasp. Sparse acoustic guitar and harmonica recorded with the warmth of a 1960s field recording.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the harmonica wails with a lonely, piercing clarity on the title track, echoing 1960s Dylan.
The stark, rhythmic acoustic strumming on 'Children of Privilege' that feels like a steady heartbeat under heavy lyrics.
The six-minute slow burn of 'My Country' where the piano and guitar merge into a weary, patriotic sigh.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
