Things Worth Remembering is a heartfelt reflective album penned by the brilliant songwriter, Jessica Carson. With this second Clandestine Amigo release, Carson wanted the story of these fresh compositions to be told with new instruments and a different voice. As head of Octave Records, she rallied musicians including Bradley Morse from the Gasoline Lollipops, Gabriel Mervine and Tom Amend who are deep in the Denver jazz scene, guitar/pedal steel player Eben Grace of Grace Design, and Katie Mintle, a promising up and coming Denver-based singer who Carson discovered while creating Octave Record’s the Audiophile Reference Disc. This album proudly features Katie Mintle singing lead on three songs. Captivating melodies beautifully sculpted into some of the best music we’ve yet heard, masterfully recorded and mixed in pure DSD by Jay Elliott, this limited edition masterpiece is a must have.

“For me,” writes Carson, “the title “Things Worth Remembering” is more than just the name of one of the songs, it captures the intent of the album. These songs were written about personal experiences, feelings, love and heartbreak that are long gone but worth remembering. It’s a collection of songs that bookends a certain time in my life.”
