Having, mercifully, nothing in common with the 1995 classic of the same name, ‘I’m a Dreamer’ is a softly-moving vintage classic for 2014.
Sidling through early 20th Century piano, heartfelt harmonica and shuffling snare, the title track off Josephine Foster’s latest album is utterly intoxicating. Repeatedly trilling “I’m a dreamer, I’m a dreamer, I’m a dreamer and I’ll dream of you,” she effortlessly transports the listener to a place beyond time.
Best listened to at dusk, in a hammock.
