    Welcome to Tim Kelley’s new world. You may think you know TK from Beauty in the Flaws or Older and Wiser?, but Sans the Rocket will prove you wrong. Indeed, you’ll recognize Tim throughout this new release, but the world music crouched and pouncing in the story of a man flying away to find his love barreling through funk driven back beats and Andrews Sisters throwbacks forces the listener to reevaluate the too easy categorization of folk artist.

    Lest you fear too much a departure, worry not. Sin of Mine carries those dulcet tones and rich harmonies that has built the still growing fan base. And, much to my delight, the ukulele pops its small neck up here amongst scat and stacked vocals.

    Like previous works the lyrical content is strong and often contrasted in its approach. The repeated verse “I would like to apologize because I’m having a bad day” of Have We Met Before has such a pleasant lilt and tone that the love behind it completely overpowers the harsh admonition of the early lyric “you’re a waste of time.”

    This release is all you love of TK and more as he grows and expands his sound. This EP is well worth your time; just good luck on not repeating Sans the Rocket long enough to get to the tin guitar timbre and slow, mellow melody haunting Lullaby.

    Take a moment to sample Stuff and Things and then take two more to settle in and wrap yourself in the sound and world of Tim Kelley.

I got a hole in my pocket I got no change for the rocket heading over the sea That turtleneck he was rockin' every stride made in pride, he razzle dazzled the street that night she said you could find it hiding in the shadows calling out all your beliefs and in the sky there's a rocket gliding by, smiling wide at the buildings beneath And they called out yeah. Soaring flying high ( I don't need your rocket ) Buildings waving bye ( I don't need your rocket ) The sun is hot and the beach is wide I'm gonna sit here and wait for you The birds move over when you get that high as you pass them by they just ignore you and I'm gonna sit here and have me a drink thinking of you watching the waves come toward me

Sin of Mine 01:18
Sin of mine here just to pass the time and hide in a glass of wine. Morning sun sings for the stars to run and tells us the evening's done. The guilt knows where to start.
3.
What a small world, that we're back to this given my current philosophies, you're a waste of time what a small world ( after all ) inside your mind It must be nice to have that kind of time mouth breather, group needer, intelligent conversation eater right on time go to bed, rest your head bah-diddly-dot and so they said but I don't buy it ( scat ) ( don't stop to speak ) I would like to apologize because I'm having a bad day If there's a blame the game's the same imagine life without your name I'm violently agitated unabated until your ass is vacated I need time ( scat ) ( don't stop to speak ) I would like to apologize because I'm having a bad day
4.
Lullaby 02:47
Hold me tonight, don't close your eyes Sing me to…Sing me to… sleep Don't say goodnight Save me tonight, just you and I Bring me to…bring me to-night Don't say goodbye
5.
Tomorrow 03:55
So here we are, cut in two what we were and what we are for all our fears and all the years that pass us by this still remains… If you fall, I'll be the ground and if you go, I'll wander aimlessly around until the end and it it rains, I will be the sunlight shining down and dry your hair and skin If you fall, I'll be the ground and if you go, I'll wander aimlessly around until the end ( of time ) and if it rains, I will be the sunlight shining down and dry your hair and skin -Tomorrow won't be far behind, If and when you change your mind -I hope you change your mind when you hear this song. I know you'll be just fine because… If and when you change your mind, tomorrow won't be that far behind

about

Tim Kelley Marietta, Georgia

Harmonies abound, transitions shift, and genres blend in Tim Kelley’s music. Behind the notes you’ll find the idealism that music can save your soul; that every experience is worth keeping, however painful, that redemption lies just somewhere around the corner, that age is a four letter word and fear is not worth the letters that make it up. ... more
