Guest Admin Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 ROCKY VOTOLATO “True Devotion” LP http://stores.channeladvisor.com/vinylhome/Items/VCSN078CW Rocky Votolato writes graceful, understated, unpretentious songs, demonstrating that simplicity is still a viable option for accomplished songwriters. His last two releases, Makers and The Brag and Cuss, found him exploring and paying homage to the folk and country music that shaped his early life in Texas (Alternative Press described the former as “the disc Ryan Adams keeps threatening to make but never quite delivers,” and Harp praised his “harmonies that would make Gram and Emmylou proud” on the latter). True Devotion, his new album, is a passionate, stripped down, and mostly acoustic reflection on moments from his current life; showing us where he is, where he has just come from, and where he’s going. Walking the line between autobiographical fact and fiction, True Devotion is deceptively simple, peppering impressionistic narratives with moments of lyrical wisdom that can knock the wind out of you. Features 12x12 16-page lyric booklet. Digital download included. I've only listened to the album all the way through once, but I think this is gonna be on my top 10 for the year. Makers is by far my favorite, but I think that I am already digging this new album more than the Brag and Cuss which I liked a lot.

oakland Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Preorders are now ruining marriages. When will the madness stop? Yeah, my wife made some joke once about getting a divorce and getting half our stuff. I said, whatever, I'd just take the dogs and my records and leave. She's like "hey, some of those records are mine." I just stared at her with that "the fuck they are" look. You know the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
