Country music album reviews from Holler.
The only complaint for the collection is the necessity for more, but isn’t that the plight of super heroes? Their work is never done.
Like the Blue Northers that occasionally sweep down the Midwest, the album is jarring in its power and rousing in its resolve. Still, in the end, it feels all too much.
Separating this deeply personal work from his beloved tenure on Yellowstone is no easy feat, but across 13 tracks, Grimes begins to introduce an even more memorable character: himself.
The album may, at times, come off as antiquated, but Desperado Troubadours – just like Sawyer Brown themselves – is far from obsolete.
Grown is not a frothy coming-of-age tale but a sharp, mature introspection from an emerging talent committed to the truth.
A brave collection that works to transform grief into everlasting beauty, Radio Heat continues to build on Cannon’s profound skill as a songwriter and one-of-a-kind visionary.
