2. Singer/songwriter Ken Karson from Cincinnati Ohio USA believes that each of us has an elusive and sometimes mysterious inner voice that strives to be heard. He is also convinced that the best way it can achieve escape velocity and be completely understood is the uninhibited and soulful expression that music invites, with personal rewards for both the artist and his audience.

He personally has been able to reach his own nirvana by carefully fashioning his music to speak in the simplest terms. His lyrics are crafted to expose the divisions that usually exist between light and dark, truth and falsehood, and pain and pleasure that we all wrestle with, but with a spiritual sensibility that his listeners will embrace.

In a modern world where sometimes the pace can be exhausting, listening to Karson’s music helps to slow life down as time well spent even if it’s only for a few fleeting minutes.

All of his tracks have been skillfully and professionally arranged and performed, and can be categorized as a collection of rock roots tracks, with both classical and modern persuasions. Whether the subject is serious or lighthearted, the quality of his music quickly becomes apparent as its driven home by his straightforward and accessible style. He never uses flash or gimmicks, but presents each track with lyrical and musical clarity and soulful elegance.

Recorded and produced by Rob Mancini at GMG Studio One in Ireland, “Just in time” is Karson’s debut and first release on GMG Records. As his most intimate and lush work yet, “Just in time” results from working closely with a core of exceptional musicians.

This esteemed group includes Claudio Pietronik, Adrian Fisher and Paul Ward on guitars, Jack Bazzani on Drums & Percussion, Aine Mancini and John Pratt on Background vocals, and Rob Mancini handling additional guitars, bass, keyboards, and supplemental background vocals.

At the center of this collection of talent is Karson’s resonant and powerful voice, described by many as solid as a rock. From the haunting hook of “Yesterday” to the choir accompaniment of “Can You Take Me Home”, to the deep groove of “Love is a Two Way Thing”, this album is both timeless and contemporary.

This new album gives the listener a wide array of lyrics and musical arrangements that speak to our everyday lives. Whether on a personal or collective level, all 10 tracks give the listener the chance to follow Karson and share in a compelling story about others, or let the pain or encouragement you hear in his voice speak to their own lives and the things they have experienced firsthand.

Karson knows the power of music, and always balances his own presentations with a little of life’s mysteries, sprinkled with “lessons learned” lyrics that can make you laugh and cry at the same time. His music uncovers the hidden, unmasks the guilty, and upholds the simple things by using the practical wisdom he gained by walking the walk through the best and worst of times in his own life
