Album Notes & Community Reviews
Backed by a seasoned studio band in Los Angeles, the Athens, Georgia songwriter presents one of the most musically expansive and accessible records of his career. The lush, country-tinged arrangements provide a warm counterpoint to his stark, darkly humorous, and intensely personal lyrical observations. The release reaffirmed his status as a premier, albeit deeply idiosyncratic, voice in modern Americana.
