Andy McKee, Drifting

This kind of song and this kind of songwriter are what make me love music. It takes a rare talent to write an engaging song without words, let alone without any accompaniment. Luckily for us, Andy McKee is a rare talent.

Following in the footsteps of greats like Don Ross, Andy McKee shows us just how much can be done with only six strings and some creativity. An almost surreal song, “Drifting” inspires me every time I listen to it. The percussive techniques, the harmonies, the lilting melody. I am blown away by Andy McKee over and over again.

I hope this song inspires you as much as it does me.
