    Apartment Story: David Berkeley

    Singer/songwriter David Berkeley recently treated us to an afternoon performance in a Brooklyn apartment, in the midst of a series of shows along the East Coast. On January 25, Berkeley will release his fourth album, "Some Kind of Cure," along with a collection of 13 stories, "140 Goats and a Guitar," each of which explains the inspiration for one of the album's tracks. Most of the songs on the record were written while Berkeley and his family were living in a tiny village in the mountains of Corsica.

    Here, Berkeley debuts the track "Homesick," and offers insight into the "140 Goats" reference in the book's title. It's clear that Berkeley has a knack for storytelling, whether or not his tales are accompanied by music.

    This is a hell of a song. And that story slayed me.
    Not sure what's funnier, though, the story or the trumpet player!
