Dirty Ned Kraft. Harp-L guy and singer, songwriter, harp player and frontman superb has a new cd called "Into Something" with his band "The Hoosier Daddies." Ned is a powerhouse and his love of what he's doing is infectious.
He's got a big open voice and he belts out his great songs and covers with a lot of energy. Now don't me wrong. Ned is no Howard Levy yet, and is the first to admit he's still developing his skills as a pro musician, (Check his recent post about driving around with a denuded harp practicing overblows) but this is one reason "Into Something" is so much fun to listen to. It's raw, unaffected stuff and a wonderful extension of Ned, himself. As a fellow "developing" musician. I found the cd to be inspirational. Singing is good. Harp playing is good. Songs are good. Band is good. Energy and love are GREAT.On song in particular about a girl who dumps him is so convincing that I practically cried. Heart felt stuff.
Just thought the list ought to know that when a post comes from Ned Kraft, it's coming from a guy who's out there doing it with all his heart and a soul. and the result is definitely worth hearing. Jon
