Following up on the eclectic territories of ‘Last Ditch Effort’, Kevin Driscoll has recently returned with a strikingly laidback and honest piece, a record that throws it back to the essentials: a tender guitar arpeggio, elegant orchestral harmonies, and Driscoll’s heartwarming, nuanced vocals. Dubbed as an ‘Alt Mix’, ‘Put It Behind Me’ does a great job of showcasing the songwriting maturity that propels Kevin’s timeless artistry. His vocal tone is quite hypnotic, deep, and raw, with every word and melody resonating with purpose and space.
Sonic qualities aside, ‘Put It Behind Me’ stands out for its striking lyrical vulnerability, as Driscoll dives deep into introspection and evocative imagery. Referring to a previous marriage, the talented American troubadour is not afraid to uncover personal experience, letting listeners into a highly meaningful journey of reckoning and growth. Recorded at Long Jump Records in Jacksonville, Florida, the record also features production and arrangement by RHRi.
Delving deeper into the inspiration behind the song, Driscoll explains: “I got divorced seven and a half years ago and even though it was of my own choosing, the years since have been difficult, to say the least, for me. There’s something about having to leave so much behind and not wanting to let go, even now. ‘Put It Behind Me’ is a song about trying to move on from that relationship.” We are confident that many listeners will relate to the song, given its honesty and tenderness.
