What a delightful and captivating surprise the 'Blue Skies' of Jordan Officer is for the ears! This self-released beauty is naked in its bare accompaniment. It's the sound of one man and one guitar on songs he and I both grew up with. Sure, there's the subtle sprinkle of a bass/drums rhythm section and the added bonus of Tex-Mex legend Augie Meyers on keyboards on one of the two originals, but the accent here is on his bluesy jazzy guitar accompanying himself while he sings these songs so pure.
