Following up that stellar EP (that was released to fans for zero dollars) is no easy task. Messenger doesn’t have a Hymn 101 single that will set the Internets on fire, but it is an album that ends too early. It’s hard to find these types of albums – the complete bodies of work. It’s hard to find songwriters that hook me, line and sinker, on every line.

Though he's an up-and-coming artist on the singer/songwriter scene, Joe Pug sounds like an old soul on his debut album, Messenger. It may have something to do with the fact that he's working an old-school sound. At a point in time when most acoustic guitar-strumming troubadours are tricking up their tunes with neo-psychedelic swirls, electronic frippery, or some other such device, Pug plays it straight-ahead, with a delivery that brings to mind John Prine, and lyrics full of poetic but never overripe imagery
