One would expect no less from an artist who is a widely-respected musical historian and scholar in addition to being a world-class musician. Growing up in South Central Virginia, Stephens was exposed to the rich musical culture and history of the region. This exposure formed a love and passion for the bluegrass, old-time, and related music which he absorbed. The sounds he heard with his ears have been woven into the fabric of his mind and heart, and translated through his hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listener of this album reaps the benefit of Jeremy Stephens’s love and commitment to his craft. Perhaps it could be said that ‘How I Hear It’ is a tutorial on the musical mind of Jeremy Stephens. Whether it is a blistering banjo instrumental such as “Sockeye,” a cross-picking mandolin showcase like “Lady Hamilton,” or the tasteful guitar stylings in “You’ll Be Lonesome Too,” Stephens’s admirable versatility and mastery of each instrument are on full display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne may hear tunes, songs, or arrangements he or she has never heard before. That’s all part of the education; Jeremy Stephens specializes in bringing obscure material to life. No doubt, the listener will be happy with how Stephens hears (and performs) the music that molded him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks: Sockeye \/ Could I Knock On Your Door \/ Since Wedding Bells Have Rung \/ Lady Hamilton \/ You’ll Be Lonesome Too \/ Virginia Waltz \/ I’ll Be Happy In My Home \/ The Bells Of St. Mary’s \/ I’m Lonesome \/ Yes Sir, That’s My Baby \/ I’m Lost Without You \/ Beautiful Blue Eyes \/ That Glorious Day \/ The Old Spinning Wheel\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"REBEL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40465884315804,"sku":"REBCD1877","price":14.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/REBCD1877.jpg?v=1626973940","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/jeremy-stephens-how-i-hear-it","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
