The frontman of Georgia roots-rock band the Whigs debuted as a solo artist with this 2018 album, here on CD or 140-gram vinyl. In contrast to the Whigs' raw Southern garage-rock, this is a gentle acoustic affair with strummed guitars, strings, percussion and horns. His meditations are leavened with earthy humor as you hear "Through the Canvas," "Too Dumb to Love Anyone," "Is It 9?," "Volcano," "Do Some Country" and more! New West.
