Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Pennsylvania progressive rock veterans return from a five-year hiatus with a conceptual album exploring American history and roots music. 'Cowboy Poems Free' tempers their typically complex, shifting time signatures with accessible, Americana-influenced melodies and acoustic textures. The record marks a highly successful, emotionally mature revitalization of their ambitious, symphonic rock sound.
