about
It was that Lee Hazelwood Cowboy in Sweden record.
It was learning that the Atlantic Ocean spreads by about an inch each year, pushing apart Europe and America.
It was that Iceland sits on top of that bubbling ridge and gains strange new land by its spreading.
It was the desire to drink in that otherworldly landscape and experience its effect in the music, the way different alcohols have different intoxicating effects on a body.
It was those cheap flights advertised.
It was that you had to leave home to see it for what it is, to frame it neatly: to miss a thing was to know its shape.
These songs deal with the nest that is Kentucky. There’s a saying that goes something like, “When the world comes to an end, I want to be in Kentucky where it's always 5 years behind.” The water they say is good for distilling bourbon. There is something in the water. And what it produces in its people is alternately Dionysian and Apollonian.
Woven into the melodies and rhythms of these songs are fragments of the many musical traditions that comprise what we now call Kentucky music: Irish, British, and African to name a few. The best music would be a conversation with the divine that has seen all of it, or... more
