The Journal of Joyful Grace

Since kairos103 and nsmom expressed interest in hearing some Josh Kelley, I proudly present 5 of the 12 songs from his debut album, "Almost Honest".

Only You (Track 2) - The reason I ran out to buy the CD in the first place. First single from the album, getting loads of radio and VH1 play around here. A cannot-seem-to-keep-still to song.

Walk Away (Track 1) - 'Walk fast, you better walk fast if you're gonna walk over me' This one's hard to describe, I want to say it's bluesy, but that's not quite right. It's also upbeat, with hints of pop and jazz. Definitely one to download.

I Don't Mind Singing (Track 10) - 'Some words aren't meant to be spoken, but you gotta try something, Some things aren't meant to be broken, but you gotta break something' A soft piano intro and then Josh starts singing these lyrics and I was instantly hooked. One of his slower songs, but by no means a drag. *loves*

Hard Times Happen (Track 11) - Okay, this one is *definitely* jazzy. And upbeat. I can't help but sing along to most of his songs, but this one especially. 'Well let me tell you now, Hard times happen, Can you hear fate saying, Told you so, look at you now, Do you really wanna wanna give in, give in, lord?'

Almost Honest (Track 4) - Again, starts out with just a piano and Josh. Another slower song and lovely one. 'My reflection, In the window when I ride for Chicago, She is on the other side, Take a picture, Write a letter to my love, Well I was almost honest, I was almost honest, Been a long time, Since I lay with you in bed, Conversations, full of words you never said, I got your message, But I didn't hear the ringing bell, I gave into the loneliness, But I didn't give them nothing else'
