Gabe Lee from Nashville, Tennessee became a very unlikely but most welcome surprise artist of 2019 when he released his striking singer/songwriter record Farmland to many rave reviews and newfound fans. Songs like “Eveline” made instant devotees of folks who’d never heard of this guy before, and were surprised to find he could write with such roots, and sing with such soul.
The fun part about an artist like Gabe Lee is you felt like you were getting in on the ground floor of something fledgling that was only going to get bigger and better over time. Farmland was a great testament to Gabe Lee’s voice and songwriting, and it’s intimacy was one of its greatest attributes. But the stripped-down nature of the affair put sort of a low ceiling on whose sensibilities it may appeal to.
