Before John Harrison devised a clock that could precisely keep time while at sea, “the longitude problem” plagued sailors and astronomers and caused shipwrecks worldwide. Once longitude could finally be determined, countless lives could be saved and mariners had a way to measure where they were, east to west. All of the songs on “Longitude” by Britt Connors have a sense of time, direction, or of finding one’s bearings. And, while the styles of the songs range from pop-rock to jazz to country-folk to gospel-ballad, they are clearly tied together as a singular body of work, much like the longitudinal lines that span the globe, intersecting only at the North and South Poles.
