This is an elegantly beautiful album with a timeless folk feeling. Subtle melodies that stick with you and strong, clear images. This is an album I return to over and over.
These songs are part of a tradition, a long stream of Texas blues, folk, and country. There are echoes of the great blues guitarists, but also a beautiful simplicity at the root of country and psych.
I was 20 when I first heard this LP and realized there was much cooler, darker, weirder bands out there. This album is thick with Texas tension, dark thoughts, and heartbreaking lyrics.
