With a blissful acoustic opening and Hearon’s powerful baritone vocals, Deadman’s Cove opens the Impossible Man record with a tug that’s bound to grasp your attention quickly. There’s a sincerity with which Todd Hearon performs, an age old wisdom to his songwriting that expresses itself in this lovely Americana form. “Impossible Man” is a collection of eleven songs from this Exeter based musician that takes you through learnings from his own life journey in a myriad of ways, sounds, and forms. It’s diverse sonically, but consistent with a key messaging and with Hearon’s powerful and incisive vocals always stealing the show.
This is the clarity and crispness that makes modern country music powerful, a heart and a soul that is deeply real and raw while having the sheen to make for a star.
