When we think about the songwriting of artists like Bob Dylan what has always stood out are the deeply personal lyrics that reflect our personal selves as much as society around us. In addition, there is a simple elegance within the orchestration that requires the listener to hear what the song is about at its core, rather than what studio recording and production techniques are currently in fashion. This intimate connection between songwriter and listener is apparent on the recordings of Alex Alavi, including his latest release “A Scream and a Song.” Below is the official music video featuring footage filmed during a pre-quarantine road trip that took place last year.
