Yeah the critics are right this time, this is a great album.

A guy really listening to his muse. Sometimes he sounds a lot like Jerry Garcia but it's just his natural voice. Altho the country rock thing adds to that. But he sounds as much like the Velvet Underground. Excellent lyrics, guitar.

Last week on Range and Basin and I shared my liners for @aquariumdrunkard.com and @orgmusic.bsky.social's Jesus People Vol. 1. This week, the liner notes for Vol. 2: The Reckoning, a lean, mean 8-song comp that I think hits even harder than the first.
