“Let it Rest” is the solo debut of former At Ship\u2019s End<\/strong> frontman, Dave Whitty. Whereas At Ship\u2019s End offered an up tempo, Celtic rock, Dropkick Murphy(esque) sound, Whitty\u2019s solo record is a contemplative, introspective record of acoustic, folk, singer\/songwriter tunes. Whitty, who is locally known for his boisterous, sea shanty-leading vocal and vigorous, percussive guitar, now takes the thoughtful and reflective route with a clean, clear and warm vocal and sparse acoustic guitars arrangements . The confidence of his At Ship’s End performances is still there, it is simply channeled into a more refined and earnest delivery. He is appealing to a more narrative and lyrical-minded audience and his growth as a songwriter is quite evident here. <\/p>\n
