NEW ALBUM: Andy Shauf "the neon skyline" - CRAZY-HORSE - 07-02-2020 Spotify listen: went to allmusic to search this weeks new releases and came across this one, they say its country/alt-country. sorry but i dont hear country on it at all?? anyway, Canadian dude, sixth studio album but ive never heard of him (which is why i picked this one to listen to). apparently its a concept album about a dude who hears his ex is back in town and its basically him reminiscing about their relationship (how it started, the good and bad times and the ultimate split) but i couldnt hear it, or more to the point didnt hear it as a concept album but who am i??? light breezy music on here, soft vocals, almost spoken at times. hints of jazzy/bluesy styles in places. opening track started and all i could think of was Gerry Rafferty, must have been the vocal tone. hearing some Father John Misty in places also, but only hints of him, nothing specific. all up a pleasant album which could find its way on my end of year purchase list.
