Cameron Blake: Baby Come Home (Live Version) [audio:http://whatweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/10-Baby-Come-Home.mp3] On Monday, December 20th Cameron Blake, accompanied by an ensemble of brilliant musicians, debuted his two newest albums ‘Hide and Go Seek’ and ‘Cameron Blake With Strings: Live!’ at An Die Musik. The setting was intimate and filled to capacity as the house lights dimmed and the performers walked onto a stage reserved only for those who, for lack of a better phrase, BRING IT.

Cameron Blake: Every Hundred Miles [audio:http://whatweekly.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/01-Every-Hundred-Miles-192.mp3] As the set progressed Cameron Blake and company played a set of songs that warranted the use of adjectives like beautiful, delicate and uplifting. “The Love Song Never Dies” was most encompassing of such descriptions and was further re-enforced by the captivation of the audience as the strings and percussion arrangements danced around Cameron’s voice and keys.

Dave Hadley Both of Cameron’s albums are currently available on his website. If you’re the type of person that likes to sit down at the end of the day, pour yourself a drink and get lost in the melodies, harmonies and subtle hooks. I recommend adding one if not both of these albums to your collection. Photo by Michael Faulkner, story by Matt Kelley.
