A Tear and A Smile

Lately I have received some very impressive acoustic guitar
submissions; in fact I would say I have had more in this last month than in the
rest of the year proceeding it, this new release by Victor Towle is a positive affirmation of that aforementioned
statement, this new single is called A
Tear and A Smile.
The gentle guitar narrative wends its way through the
woodlands and timberlands of a kindly summer musical forest, and never fails to
charm along the way, the performance by Towle is indeed very impressive, with
its uplifting tones and vibrations, and its alteration of posture to allow us
to both swim in its ambience, but pay attention to the wonderfully constructed
nuances as we go.
This is one of those tracks that you just find yourself
leaving on repeat for ages; it’s a colourful pastiche of notes and chord
progressions, and a delightful arrangement to show two sides to an emotional
story, one that concludes with the smile, and wiping the tear from the face.
Towle has manifested something simple yet poignant, the shadow play of moods is impressive and his acoustic guitar performance doubly so, one has to look at this piece and feel that its contents, and the artists presentation is that good, that a huge hit could well be on the cards for A Tear and A Smile by Victor Towle.
