A 2009 album from an artist that I hadn’t previously heard of, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It’s described as alt-country, which doesn’t feel quite right. His voice sounds a little like Leonard Cohen, but he’s accompanied by some nice strings that put me in mind of 70s style Glenn Campbell. Other tracks add some interesting bass lines and vaguely middle eastern sounding orchestration - perfectly pleasant listening, but nothing to frighten the metaphorical horses.
Lyrically, he’s in similar territory to Leonard Cohen but I’m not sure if the latter ever sang a song about death from the perspective of a horse though. I’m feeling charitable, so I’ll give this three stars but I think I might have preferred it if this was just him and a guitar in a more minimal arrangement.
