Single Review of Jon Chesbro: “Choices”

Maine singer-songwriter Jon Chesbro released “Choices” last spring, but as I always say, if you haven’t heard it, it’s new to you. And lucky you because you get to enjoy this kickass, kinda psychedelic and spacey, introspective guitar-pop song with fresh ears.

“Choices” soars and crashes, while the vocals are inward-looking and self-examining, stylistically a little sonically detached and echoey. The tempo plods relatively slowly, but that almost feels like a slow build that set the stage for a soaring musical liftoff during the song’s final one-third. In any case, it’s a really cool listen, enjoyable for multiple consecutive spins, if you’re so inclined.

On “Choices,” Chesbro (vocals, guitar) is joined by Robert Countie (bass), Akiba Davis (keyboards, organ), and Don Schweihofer (drums).
