{"product_id":"ramsey-thornton-i-called-it-vinyl","title":"Ramsey Thornton - I Called It! (Purple Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eRamsey Thornton makes modern-day folk music for early mornings and quiet hours. It's a warm, rhythmic sound, fueled by intricate fingerpicking and the observational storytelling of a lifelong musician who's still discovering new horizons. Long before he became an unsung hero of Tulsa's music scene - playing banjo in Ken Pomeroy's band, drumming for jazz combos, and collaborating with hometown heroes like Wilderado - the Oklahoma native began drumming at 6 years old. By his late-teens, he was playing stringed instruments, too. Banjo came first. Acoustic guitar followed, with Ramsey developing a hypnotic, percussive style - including intricate rhythms and uniquely phrased arpeggios - that seemed to nod to the two instruments he'd already learned. Ramsey recorded I Called It! In Brooklyn, where he teamed up with Isaac Stalling and Sam Skinner (Pinegrove) in a Bed-Stuy studio. They anchored each song with a live performance of guitar and vocals, adding other instruments - from the interlocking layers of strings that sweep through \"\"Tony's Song,\"\" a gorgeous duet with Ken Pomeroy, to the brushed percussion and keyboards that punctuate \"\"Backyard\"\" - for textural effect. Back home in Oklahoma, Ramsey tapped Chad Copeland (Broncho, Wilderado) to contribute synth, drones, and other atmospherics to tracks like \"\"Fourth of July.\"\" Even so, I Called It generally unfolds like a one-man show, capturing Ramsey Thornton in his element: intimate, locked-in, and focused on the present moment. \"\"I like my music to sound natural,\"\" he says simply. \"\"These are songs that I wrote around my kitchen table. I recorded them with my friends. I hope they just sound like me.\"\"With I Called It!, Ramsey Thornton keeps his eye on the outside world and his hands on the fretboard, creating a gentle, guitar-driven soundtrack to everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51597696434471,"sku":"634457247895","price":31.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/4501867-3559994_de51f9ec-709e-4fea-b403-57ff1a534ce4.jpg?v=1783436745","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/ramsey-thornton-i-called-it-vinyl","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
