Driftwood singer releases evocative new album: ‘The World Passes By’

Submitted Report

Bob Slaughter’s 5th self-produced studio album, The World Passes By, represents a bold new artistic direction for the Driftwood-based singer-songwriter. The 10 song collection portrays a mature artist at the top of his game dealing with weighty themes of mortality, social justice and environmental consciousness, yet still imbued with Slaughter’s innate optimism and affirmative lyrics, resulting in a sumptuous, uplifting and, at times, meditative listening experience.

“Besides being an evolution in my song writing, and my musical and vocal ambitions,” Slaughter said, “The World Passes By project has brought together an amazing and supportive community of people in the music world, locally and beyond.”
