In this second release, BLH eschews traditional compositions for all original material and a slightly more experimental sound. As with recent disks by Sierra Ferrell and Jake Xerxes Fussell, RGH mixes old and new to create a unique, timeless sound. The trio's triple threat is comprised of not one, but two, sublime vocalists (Anais Mitchell and Eric Johnson aka Fruit Bats), a multi-instrumentalist virtuoso (Josh Kaufman from Muzz) and Kaufman's masterful arranging that combines traditional folk instrumentation with a jazzy sax, fuzzed guitars and synths. This might sound like an odd mix but these three Americana masters pull it off in wonderful style. RIYL: Cowboy Junkies, Barr Brothers Exile - Exquisite soft vocals by EJ over gentle banjo (slow, 3:34)*** Comrade Sweetheart - slow & dreamy with tandem vocals (slow, 3:33) California - EJ's lush vocals over jazzy lead guitar (slow, 3:16)** Summer Dream - light & dreamy with angelic vocals from AM (slow, 5:20)** Gone By Fall - EJ on vocals with finger picked guitar (slow, 2:48) Sweetbread - opens with jazzy sax over banjo with tandem vocals, slowly builds to powerful, improvised crescendo (med, 3:41)*** Someone To Weep For Me - bittersweet vocals from EJ over uptempo arrangement (med, 3:21) Fleur de Lis - AM on vocals with soaring guitar/dulcimer interplay (med, 4:23) Fair Anne - dreamy tandem vocals over uptempo arrangement with light synth (med, 3:00)** Cold Rain & Snow - fun, uptempo with fuzzy guitar over harmony vocals (med, 2:48) ** | ||
