For “Crossing Dragon Bridge” Steve Wynn went to Ljubljana where he shacked up with Chris Eckman of Walkabouts fame. There the two of them shrunk their universe to Eckman’s home studio and recorded all of the songs with just Wynn’s voice and an acoustic guitar. Basically it’s all you need to make a great album but they didn’t stop there and made it even better by adding parts later on. And whether it’s Linda Pitmon’s voice, an eight-piece orchestra or a choir, it always fits the song perfectly.
With so many releases under his belt, you’d start to think that Wynn might be getting tired but a change of environment apparently is all the man needs to write yet another endearing batch of songs. Just give “Punching Holes In The Sky” a listen and agree with me.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
