Americana Music News —In a town full of co-writers, Zach Broocke has chosen to make Enjoy the Ride Solo Writes 2001-12 all his own.
The Nashville-based singer-songwriter has compiled a collection of his solo compositions from an 11-year span, melding unreleased material with some of his best work from past albums and EPs.
It’s a smart step for a talented writer whose past work has gone underrecognized, and offers some of his newer fans a sense of his career to date.
New to this collection are “Enjoy The Ride,” Canyon Calling,” “There’s Nothing Good in Goodbye,” “Dial Tone” and “Nadine,” joining tracks from Last Call, Anywhere But Here and the Henry Poole is Here soundtrack.
Brooke is a smart, literate songwriter who delves deeply into emotions.
Melancholy and regret loom large here, bringing a cohesive whole to songs separated by a number of years.
You’ll find samples of Broocke’s music here.
Here’s a live performance of a track from Watchdog Lookout:
