A gift from a mate. This one might take some plays. A good album, but got a feeling my mate likes it more
than me. Second solo album from Australian Angus Stone who usually records with sister Julia. The duo is
very popular in the homeland, with their last album, Down The Way, debuting at #1 there. Angus seems just
as popular by himself, with this album coming on the chart at #2 there. I see it is nominated for an ARIA
Award in the Best Blues & Roots Album category. We haven't slotted that one in for the Grammys yet.
Singles from this album at this point have been Broken Brights and Bird On The Buffalo. While researching
clips for this I found a live one for the leadoff track that I like much better than the version on this
album. It had Julia on stage also. Didn't post it as it is a lot different than the version on here. I do
love two tracks on here but there were four I didn't care for. I'm sure this album will hit that magic 2.0
score after a few more spins.
