Notes


A stunning collection of beautiful country- and folk-inflected songs that shift and sway with spare acoustic arrangements. While the songs are not autobiographical per se, the lyrics are a central focus, bringing a rich assortment of complex characters to life with abstract but vividly rendered details. The band includes Gary Louris and Marc Perlman from the Jayhawks.
