I wasn't exactly looking forward to this album, because psychedelic country music is about the worst thing I can think of, and this blog post is circa 2020. But this was actually lovely, and a very welcome surprise.
It's country music but it has been slowed down, probably with the aid of narcotics. The result is a beautiful album that is gloomy in the best way. It felt very raw, and the low production value was a definite plus.
So another album that proves country music can be pretty good, if it is heavily diluted by something else.
RATING: 4/5
