Through to the badlands


People make entire albums that sound like the Midwest.  It's hard to talk about music that sounds like hay bales and really long roads and bourbon on the porch without using the same set of adjectives describing reedy voices, singer-songwritery vocals, easy guitar licks.

So let's not.  Let's just say that some music sounds like hay bales and really long roads and bourbon on the porch.  That to me is what the new Deer Tick album is all about, and there's no more fitting way to celebrate it than via their own homage to a certain fellow whose work is rooted in landlocked states and folk songs.
