2012 Esquire Songwriting Challenge: "Respective Coasts"One of my favorite lyricists / talk singers, Craig Finn, has contributed a song called "Respective Coasts" to the 2012 Esquire Songwriting Challenge. It's vintage Finn and, like his recent solo efforts, is pretty pared down when compared to The Hold Steady. I've always loved Finn's work, and I've always been surprised at how the Catholic Rock flavor of his songs has appealed to me. You can take the boy out of the church, I guess...
Finn's first solo album, Clear Heart Full Eyes, came out earlier this year and is worth a listen.
You can purchase "Respective Coasts," along with the rest of the EP, over at iTunes and raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters.
The Esquire link features a promo video and some photos by Toms River, NJ photographer / director, Danny Clinch, who also took these shots.
