Craig Cardiff, This is Craig Cardiff:
Collected Works
Craig Cardiff hails from Ontario, Canada. His gift is crafting songs that help us deal with the human condition through music. Cardiff has an earnest mannerism in his vocal style, that makes what he sings that much more believable. Now over 20 years into his career, Cardiff has millions of streams on Spotify, (his single “Dirty Old Town” is approaching 60 million hits) and he is considered a pioneer for alternate venue touring. Cardiff is gearing up to release a limited edition 12″ vinyl and CD copy of This Is Craig Cardiff: Collected Works. This contains some of Cardiff’s most popular songs, fan favorites, as well as two un-released songs. One of those song is “To Be Safe, Loved & Home.” A track that builds on acoustic instruments and a driving snare drum pattern and Cardiff’s authentic vocals. That’s the short of it!
Positives:
“To Be Safe, Loved & Home” is a testament to Cardiff’s lyrics, soft warm vocals and the power of solid songwriting.
Bottom Line:
With a steady four-four bassline, a marching snare figure, and the soft strumming of acoustic guitar, a mandolin, and soft hues from piano and strings, Cardiff sings from the heart. In a style that evokes Americana and singer/songwriter stylings around a warm campfire of cleaver lyrics and robust melodies. “To Be Safe, Loved & Home,” is a well-crafted song styling that resonates to the core emotion of heartfelt stories.
