Jay Clifford - Driving Blind

I adore Jay Clifford. He's one of my all-time favorite songwriters. For those who haven't yet discovered him, the hauntingly beautiful voice of Jump (formerly Jump Little Children) has a nice solo album, Driving Blind. While not my favorite (still longing for the old JLC stuff, along with the Rosebud songs), this one has the breathtaking "Diving Bell," easily the prettiest song in this album. The lyric "Finally asleep, she is sold, each breath for a handsome price..." is such a riveting image. Other gems include "Caught in the Rain," "Paralyze," and "Dissolves."
