Christopher Denny - Age Old Hunger |

The 23 year-old singer-songwriter from Little Rock, Arkansas has experienced confusion, sorrow and heartbreak. He’s battled addiction, served time in jail and faced abandonment at an early age.“I sometimes wonder if I draw drama to myself just to have something to write about it,” he laughs. But as he’ll be the first to tell you, these trials and tribulations don’t necessarily distinguish Denny as someone worthy of attention. What sets Denny apart is what he makes out of those troubles—namely, the gorgeously haunting songs on Age Old Hunger.
In the album, Denny brings the listener to a place where danger and melancholy run as hard and as fast as the old locomotive he describes in “Westbound Train.” Denny has never been big on the idea of writing from the perspectives of different characters—he says these accounts come from his own life. This assertion is easy to trust in tunes like “All Burned Up,” where Denny describes in vivid detail “the love that we used to share,” or “Time,” a young man’s version of an old man’s blues. |
