The young Phoenix native, Jordan Carroll’s upcoming single release, “You Know That I Know,” blends the most immediate instrumental and lyrical details with an elaborate web of traditional musical roots. This body of work reaches out wide to draw in the blues, folk, rock and just about everything else, with a touch of the troubadour in it. The result is a fully realized song that takes you on an artful journey, with the highest of highs and wretched lows of love wrapped all inside its storyline – sometimes at the same time.
On the surface, someone looking for a casual listen could just ease into this gorgeous feast that is Carroll’s wide ranging voice and enjoy, but why would you leave it there? The man’s talent can capture the most sustained ache or joy through a musical verse, which lives like a weight in your belly for a long time after listening. Quite simply Jordan Carroll is no ordinary ‘here today, gone tomorrow’, singer-songwriter.
