It’s more than 20 years since I first came across, Canadian recording artist, Michael Hart’s music. This is his 9th album and was recorded “live off the floor.” There’s definitely a jazz feel to most of the songs, but an early favourite was “Sweet Presence,” were his vocals are ably backed by Lindsay Garnett’s voice, and a lovely organ sound. On “He Won’t Need No Directions” Michael leans the musical style to someone like a tuneful Neil Young, with Graham Ord shining on electric guitar. “Be My Delight” is quite a gentle sound that reminded me of Michael’s songs from the late nineties. Another good song is “Till the Blessing Overflows.” The opening lyrics, especially, spoke to me. “I heard you shoulder the humble; And lift up the bowed down; Carry the hurting close to your heart; Your comfort comes around.”Michael’s vocals embrace each word, with the musicians providing excellent backing. Does Michael play any instruments? Yes, he does, with some solid acoustic guitar on various songs, including the mid-tempo “Watchman.”  It may be many years since his debut, but Michael still knows how to write a good collection of songs.  25% of all proceeds goes to the restoration of those who've suffered from sex trafficking.
