Steph Macleod, Orange is The Color of Joy


Check out Steph Macleod, it's acoustic music with a heap load of honesty and integrity. Steph hails from sunny Scottland. And we all know if it's not Scottish it's crap, well this is not some marketing departments creation. Steph has the depth of the greats, he's a bit Lennon, a touch Dylan, and a tad... Steph. Listen to "Orange is The Color of Joy", it's a touching song, one man and his guitar, what more do you want? And wait for the end, he pulls a Jimmy Page on the acoustic with some Celtic change ups right out of nowhere, absolutely smashing.

Wanna see something deep, really deep. Watch out, it might make you wake up to a new reality. Watch the video below from Big Blue X, I love the vocals before the 2nd chorus, "They Keep You Safe From The Truth". Someone put a lot of effort into telling a story, it's pretty cool how the images and the song fits together. And while you're at it download the bands 1st single "Escapism Generation Waste" for free: www.BigBlueX.com This is acoustic rock with impressive melody and it... rocks!
