Review by Juana Martinez-Neal

Growing Up Naked by Tim David Kelly is an introspective and soulful album that showcases the artist's talent for storytelling and songwriting. The album features a mix of folk, blues, and country influences, with Kelly's distinctive voice and acoustic guitar at the forefront of each track.

The album's title track, "Growing Up Naked," sets the tone for the rest of the record with its raw and honest lyrics about the struggles of adolescence and coming of age. Other standout tracks include "The River," a haunting ballad about lost love, and "Lone Star State," a lively tune that pays tribute to Kelly's Texas roots.

Throughout the album, Kelly's lyrics are poignant and deeply personal, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. His storytelling abilities are particularly evident on tracks like "The Ballad of Johnny and June," a vivid and emotional tribute to the legendary country couple.
