Here's one that could be a contender as the wedding dance song of choice for newly weds. There’s a reassuring warmth to Michael B Kowal’s “Take My Hand”, a tender indie ballad carried by guitar and gravelly Americana vocals. The song becomes a beautifully open invitation - to love, friendship, faith, or simply not facing life alone.
Kowal, a Louisiana singer-songwriter who builds his music from acoustic guitar and lingering thoughts, keeps things wonderfully human and unhurried. I’m no great harmonica fan, and there’s plenty here, but I’ll gloss over that - because the gentle build and heartfelt sentiment make this a romantic gem. One for late nights.
