I raved about Lance Cowen's debut So Far, So Good from 2024. As Country/Folk/Americana music goes it doesn't get any better. Ditto this sophomore effort. This record is equally ideal. And beautiful.
Excellently recorded mostly acoustic music, the warm and cozy voice, and exceptional writing both melodically and lyrically.
Beautiful melancholic love songs One More Chance, Will Belinda, Love Anyway, and More or Less. The story of growing up in a coal town that is Old King Coal. Prayer For a Child expresses the hopeful sentiment of every parent. The sensitive character pieces that are Against the Grain and Going South. The downright rocking near desperation of Ragged Edge of Nothing, and the self explanatory sense of loss that is I Can't Stand the Winter. Ten songs, every one poignant and true.
Cowen writes and sings these lovely compositions and gets help from A-list Nashville musicians including Vinnie Santoro (drums), Jay Turner (bass), Todd Smith (piano), Dan Dugmore (pedal steel, dobro), Pat Flynn (guitar), and Chip and Billy Davis (harmonies).
Words can't do it justice. Find a way to hear it.
