Description:
In the mid-90s Joe Henry was critically respected musician, lopped in with the burgeoning alt.country scene. His career at a loggerheads, he ditched the straightforward singer-songwriter approach and started experimenting with his sound. The decade-long journey took him through studio wizardry, sound-scape experimentation, jazz, r&b, and into an acclaimed career as a producer. A decade later, he returned to his roots as a straight-ahead songwriter. The experience of his journey through the wilds of music is evident in this magnificent album. Soulful, warm, and heartbreaking. Those that wondered where the Henry of a decade ago had gone, can come to this album comfortable that his journey was worth it. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (Anti-)
