Album description

Nobody could accuse Josh Woodward of being a lazy songwriter. After releasing two CDs at once in August 2007, he announced a hiatus from live performing and headed straight back in to the studio to start working on more music. The result of intensive songwriting sessions over six months, "The Simple Life" is really two full-length CDs in one. Part one (tracks 1-11) is based in a lighter pop-rock style, with catchy tunes featuring electic instrumentation not always typical to the genre. Part two (tracks 12-22) is a return to his roots, filled with lyrical acoustic music in his distinctive style.

Wow!!

19/06/08

In a world that seems to be constantly focusing on the easiest and fastest ways to make $$$ it seems that Josh Woodward is trying to start a revolution.

This album is Amazing!

Not because of the lyrical poetry that somehow maintains its purity in the face of the ever present danger of pretentiousness that in many other cases can easily envelope even the most aware of artist,

Nor for his intoxicatingly simple, yet, complex rhythms and musical compositions.

But singly for the message that is incipient in this album from start to finish.

Josh Woodward wants to change the world. However in attempting this he maintains a certain aloofness from the subject matter in a way that allows his own interpretation of his goal to show through - That of its seemingly utter impossibility.

This tongue and cheek approach shows that Woodward is not a naive personality who believes that current world perspective can 180 instantly. However he has still created a library of thoughtful songs that are designed not only to entertain, but also to inspire his audience to greater heights.

Listen to this album as much as you can, and then give some money to this guy, because he has already given us something that will someday soon have a significant positive impact on our social system.

I can't believe this is a free album - This album is just as good if not better than 99% of the commercial releases over the past five years.

It's always a pleasure to listen to Woodward's albums. For me it seldom happens that I like to listen to an album from the beginning to the end. This is the case.
A refreshing album, really agreable, never boring, perfect on my mobile phone (where I put only those albums that I like to listen everywhere, everytime).
I don't have yet a favourite track but this means that I really enjoy _all_ tracks!
Thank you for this great work.

I always find your albums enjoyable. You have a great sound to your music and well rounded lyrics. I just realized you have a harmonizing back up singer. It makes the almost unnatural sound to the vocals all the more enjoyable.

Good album

This is different from the style of music I'm used to listening to. However, I really like the overall chill feel of the album. In a way, it kind of reminds me of Death Cab For Cutie. I think my favorite track has to be Heritage Place.
