| 4.0 excellent | Alabaster Jones | October 14th 15 |
When most people say the words "country music", they generally mean the pop masquerading as country often heard nowadays. It's a shame, seeing as how guys like Corb Lund are full-on, no-frills, old-timey country and tend to be overlooked by many. Lyrically, the man is quite adept, telling stories of his life and times, best exemplified on the trio of "Sadr City", "Washed-Up Rock Star Factory Blues" ("I've done a lot of singing about sticking it to the man, today's the day he's gonna stick it right back if he can" is so subtlety perfect), and "S Lazy H". Musically, it's excellently executed, even if unambitious, country, with acoustic and electric guitars, occasional backing vocals, and Lund's wonderful voice keeping things authentic and enjoyable. You have your melancholy slower-paced acoustic songs, but you also have your more upbeat, faster-paced jams, and they both generally sound great. Altogether, it's a great country album, thanks to Lund's excellent vocal, lyrical, and instrumental work.
