Arthur Fowler has released a second album, aptly titled Here I Am Again, and we should celebrate his return.

This is a musician who makes beautiful tunes out of simple ideas and takes them to the audience for delight. Here I Am Again is Arthur’s second album, following up his 2014 release What Keeps Me Going.

Fowler collaborates with Japanese and American artists, and the release was recorded in Chicago and Tokyo. It’s clear his influence is global.

He has an interesting background having traveled the world and having studied jazz guitar with some of the greats.

On Here I Am Again, Fowler brings five original songs through which he continues his exploration of the deepest experiences of life and love. Fowler’s melodic voice and passionate lyrics blend for excellent, mellow results. Check out his Facebook page to see what Arthur’s about.

“Disappearing” sounds like a combination of America if James Taylor were the front man, with a little Carlos Santana thrown in.
