Jack McKeon’s debut, Talking to Strangers, is a young man’s album. He’s at the age where he can objectively see the world around him and where he fits in the larger picture. His ten tales of American life address the vicissitudes dictated by time and other related factors. The singer-songwriter is old enough to understand that transformation is the one constant, which is not always for the better.Or as he sings it on “Highway 29”, “Times always changing the way that we’re living.” Whether they are building an interstate where there once were farm fields or a couple’s love turning sweeter like wine, McKeon observes the telling particulars of what was lost and gained. As the poet says, nothing comes from nothing, but progress is just another word for nothing left to lose, or maybe it doesn’t. He cites Keats and Kerouac in his lyrics, but his lyrics are more prose-like than poetry. McKeon is content with telling his stories in plain language without decorating the details.
