Shreveport, LA native w/ his second release. It’s a bit haunting w/ country elements, slight Wilco thing going on?, slight darkish Nick Cave? Nick Drake vibe? Interesting, really magnetic. Careful, measured vocal delivery w/ echo. Instrumentation of guitar, drums, bass, keys, pedal steel. No FCC’s.

*My Favorites*: 2, 3, 5, 7, 9.

1. (5:29) Slow / Mid. Ethereal, haunting and dark w/ pedal steel, echoey vcls.
2. *(3:12) Slow / Mid. A bit lighter here w/ acoustic gtr, brushes, piano, pedal.
3. *(4;53) Mid. More country-ish / rock-ish. Gets loud w/ full band.
4. (3:32) Slow / Mid. Mellower w/ back vcls, plodding beat, pedal steel.
5. *(4:50) Mid. Mellow w/ brushes, nice vcl delivery, back vcls.
6. (5:47) Slow / Mid. Echoey vcl, slight drum march, soaring vcl, epic vibe.
7. *(4:12) Slow / Mid. Aching vcl, big cymbal crashes, great piano.
8. (4:23) Mid. Big pedal steel, plodding beat, big vcl echo.
9. *(6:28) Mid. Late-night drive tune, ethereal. Acoustic gtr, pedal. Nice.
10. (3:41) Slow. Radio-static intro. Ultra-haunting, big echo.
