Texas-based singer-songwriter Jim Keaveny's recent release Put It Together is a delightful album of twelve self-penned songs that kicks off with "What I Ain't Got" a song whose shuffling melody, accented by squeezebox and harmonica, pulls you right in. Keaveny follows that with mariachi horns in the ripe for dancing "Is It You" where he ponders, "I wonder if this thing called life just is here for us to just say goodbye", the mysterious instrumental "The Grand Forks", and the punky-soul combo of "Check You Out" which features some fine organ work. The pace slows on the mournful "Limbo And Grim (Slight Return) The Mariachi Mantra" and the sweet, harmony-fueled, reflective "Good Times" and while "Blown Away" brings back the harmonica and documents a love affair, the rockabilly "Leave This Town" amps the energy back up a few notches. Put It Together is rounded out by the encouraging title track, the somber "Blue Eyes" and the extended "Six Days In A Jailhouse." For more information visit HERE.
