The announcement of Bakersongs new full-length release received a lot of positive response from Americana journalists in the Netherlands. One even called him the perfect combination of Ryan Adams and Paul McCartney. With the second single from the record, ‘Turn a Blind Eye’, Bakersongs shows such compliments are well-deserved.
On ‘Turn a Blind Eye’, singer Ruud said: “For ‘Turn a Blind Eye’ I was musically inspired by the lethargic feel of The Band. The chorus is of course meant ironically, in regards to everything that is going on in the world. It can also be interpreted in a way that gives you a bit more peace with looking the other way and not to concern yourself too much with the overwhelming amount of news that is shared with us daily.”
The music of Bakersongs is characterized by smart, creative approaches and excellent, crafted musicianship. In terms of influences, think of American Folk and Americana artists such as The Band, James Taylor and The Milk Carton Kids, but influences of The Beatles, and Damien Rice are also undeniable.
