I’m not sure where I first caught sound of Durham, but I was instantly hooked by the combination of his gravelly voice and the twangy guitars. So captivated in fact that I purchased the album new with 2-day shipping so that I could get my next fix as soon as possible. Needless to say, I wasn’t disappointed as this album kicks from the opening drumbeats on Drifting Wood to the more melancholy laments on “Clementine” and “Trucker’s Love Song.”
I’m still trying to figure out the meaning of the title, but it’s clear that the sound, thematic elements and overall mystique about Durham work together as a whole. Now if he’d only tour outside of Texas! I also hear that he’s come out with a new album, Exodus of the Deemed Unrighteous, which is already on my wishlist.
This one definitely goes Topshelf! 8 stars!
