Joe Sampson creates a lot with a little. Maybe it was his family roots of a barbershop quartet that lead to the minimalism of his craft. Maybe it was his collaborations with Nathaniel Rateliff and Esme Patterson, or maybe it’s just because he doesn’t need to add any bells or whistles to his songs. The Denver songwriter, who took home Songwriter of the Year from Westword in 2008 and was hailed as the rarely seen and mythical musical unicorn by Hey Reverb, has just released his stark, EP Songs of Delay — a stunning 13-minute journey straight into the heart of superb songwriting and a simple, austere but elegant presentation of those songs.

Joe Sampson released his EP Songs of Delay earlier last month. One of the highlights of the EP is “Songbird” featuring Nathaniel Rateliff. The simplistic acoustic guitar with the soft harmonies of Sampson and Rateliff’s vocals have a slight gritty nature to it. The bareness of the track add a fragility to the track, like if a single note was out of place, the whole song would crash.
