Barney Cortez recently shared a new, acoustic EP that he’s titled Farewell Dogs. It is dedicated to the memory of Tiger Merritt, Billy Swayze, Luanne Wise, and Kathleen McDonnell. Mitigating melodies wash over as one ruminates over the lyrics and listens. A subdued, daydreamy nature creates a tranquilizing effect, as the weight of words sinks in. Proceeds from the release will go to the family of Tiger Merritt.
