Cahalen Morrison & Eli West - Our Lady of the Tall Trees



More Country

Here’s an album in the same tradition as Chance McCoy’s, just reviewed, but the significant difference is that the majority of these songs are new rather than traditional ones. Morrison has written the bulk – though there is a great Country cover of Townes Van Zandt’s Loretta - and these resonate with a feel for the past and then the freshness of their contemporary moment, perhaps most obviously in the clarity of their recording. It is all essentially demonstrated in the musicianship, instruments [distinctive banjo again, and mandolin] and the tight twang of bluegrass harmony.
