Album Review

For many, the image of the traveling folk singer is one that evokes a level of romanticism in your mind, a road-worn troubadour that tells you stories of love, loss, and what's beyond your small worldview. For David Huss, his time abroad in college playing gigs in Australian bars, and working as a fisherman in Alaska have set him up to be that ideal 21st-century folk troubadour, and this is all reflected into his debut album Intuition.

Album Review

2019 has been a great year for music. As I think back to all of the amazing albums I’ve been fortunate to review, one album stands out – David Huss‘ Intuition. Each song on Intuition has its own story and feeling, while still working to create a beautiful folk sound that could only belong to Huss. Some standout features of the album are Huss‘ honest vocals, heartwarming lyrics, steady fingerpicking, and smooth fiddle lines. One of the most exciting aspects of Intuition is how well it showcases Huss‘ strength as a songwriter. Each song is a journey, painting a picture for listeners through various instruments, harmonies, and melodic shapes. One great example of this skill is the song “Wings”. The track takes its time to build in a natural and pleasing way; it begins with vocals and acoustic guitar from Huss and slowly grows into a full and welcoming sound with vocal harmonies, brushes, and strumming. “Wings” is an outstanding and gorgeous track from Intuition – one of many that are all worth a listen! Check out Intuition below!

Abum Review

I love an album that demands your attention right off the bat. That’s the way I felt when listening to Intuition by David Huss. The opening track “Shelikof” blasts off with a beautiful mix of Celtic and Americana overtones. Suffice it to say the entire album had my attention. Huss creates music as he explains “are inspired by introspection and personal transitions in life and are written with an optimistic perspective.” That sounds about right and I would have arrived at the conclusion without having read it.
