TJ Griffin - "Overtures of Youth"

Imagine if Paul Simon, Dave Matthews, and Sade set out to create an album together and you'll have some idea of the creative talent of Washington DC songwriting vocalist T.J. Griffin! The lyrics alone are worth the price of the CD, and with Shahin's (of Shahin and Sepehr) no-nonsense polished-yet earthy production, the music elicits new insights with repeated listenings.
