Album Of The Day: Better Late Than Never by Arthur Alligood

Album Art of Arthur Alligood's Better Late Than Never album - A black-and-white photo of a middle-aged white man standing with his hands in his pants pockets in a field of long grass. The field and sky are a gray color, and on the horizon some trees that are black. The man is pictured from the legs up, with dark pants and a light-colored collared shirt with pockets on both sides. He's god short hair and a short beard and mustache of a light color. The picture has simulated ringwear with a circle where the vinyl would be inside a package. In the top left, printed in white is the artist name, and in the top right, printed in black is the album title.

"I see the notes on the page / But that's not what I'm gonna play." Released 4 years ago yesterday, this is the fifth album from independent singer/songwriter Arthur Alligood, though it's the first album from him I've heard. Produced by Mikal Blue and with half of Toad The Wet Sprocket being his studio band, it's a nice recording of new pop/rock songs from this artist. With songs like "I'll Be Alright", "Dark Days" and "Song For The Stubborn" he dwells on the struggles in life, but also keeps a pretty positive outlook on life. And on songs like "Here For Love" and "Marceline" he talks of love sought and found and in "My Love In A Love Song" he struggles for the right words to write about his love. It's a good 11 tracks of music from a nice, independent voice. I'm happy to have supported the Kickstarter to fund this album's recording and am glad a bunch of other artists I listen to recommended Arthur Alligood's music.
