On his second solo effort Turner Cody sounds like he’s longing for yesteryear. From the clarinet and the shuffling rhythms down to the cover photo, it all sounds and looks like this guy would like to have been born a couple of decades earlier.
Just like the tunes themselves, Cody’s voice sounds warm and just like Bob Dylan, Cody sounds slightly nasal and knows how to write great lyrics. While the live recordings in the studio give the whole a comfortably lazy and ramshackle feel, you can tell these guys know what they’re doing and how to do it.
What that ‘it’ entails exactly? Think of a mix of jazz, blues, folk and rock. I doubt there are many acts that sound like Turner Cody or you’d have to start going through your grandparents’ record collection but it certainly has its charm. I just wish there were a couple more hooks here to make things stick.
Score: 6.5 out of 10
