$33.00Call to Order
California country with the twang dialed back and the melodies pushed up front, jangly and sun-bright. 'Wide Open Heart' floats on Beach Boys harmonies, warm and breezy. He folds in covers too, the Byrds' 'Time Between' chiming, the Carter Family's 'Keep on the Sunny Side' grinning, and a surprise turn on Cake's 'Bound Away.' His first batch of new originals in years and it sounds easy, unforced. Sits right beside his great '80s and '90s work.
