Stuck In My Head : Kevin Devine, "I Could Be With Anyone"


Photo by by Denny Mui. Alas, he's a Mets fan.


I saw Kevin Devine at Pearl Street down in Northampton a little over a year ago. I was there to see Baker, had never even heard of the headliner before, but wound up blown away by Devine's stage presence and heartfelt acoustic songs.

I downloaded the I Could Be With Anyone tour EP several months ago and, as is often the case in my life, only just got around to listening to it the other day. And, yet again, I was blown away by the EP's title track, which is also apparently the lead single off his latest LP, Brother's Blood, due out on the 28th. It's still the same heartfelt Devine crooning heartfelt, maybe heartbreaking truths ("I could be with anyone.../I'm not saying that it's right/But I'm not saying that it's a lie") that ever ring true, but danceable and immediately catchy.
